MySafe:LA's Executive Officer David Barrett talks with one of the most instrumental figures in the Los Angeles Fire Department's response to the Northridge Earthquake 20 years ago. Assistant Chief Frank Borden (retired) was in charge of much of the department's resources that day, but he had also spent the decade prior to the Northridge Quake creating a new citizen volunteer responder corps he named CERT. On January 17, 1994, Borden watched his CERT volunteers serve a critical function in the shaken city.
