Anxious and weary family members in the North Bay are waiting to hear word their loved ones living in Hawaii are OK.
That could very well be the mission of firefighters headed to the island. NBC Bay Area learned Thursday that at least one firefighter with Contra Costa County is leaving Friday morning to join the rest of the search-and-rescue teams.

Video taken from a helicopter over the town of Lahaina Thursday shows some smoke and some pockets that were spared from the flames -- but the rest is gone. Audrey Asistio has a closer look.
Tom Tanner is one of them set to leave from San Jose Friday morning. He’s flying to Honolulu first … but he said that he is ready to go where he’s needed.
