More than 3,000 rescuers of various types have arrived at the quake-hit areas after a devastating earthquake hit Gansu and Qinghai provinces late on Monday, according to the Ministry of Emergency Management. 

It said 2,042 of the rescuers are from the National Comprehensive Fire and Rescue Team, who brought with them 381 vehicles and 37 rescue dogs. In total, they have saved 74 people trapped from the quake and evacuated almost 4,300 residents.

The rescue forces were also reinforced by 736 people from 28 rescue teams dispatched by some centrally administered State-owned enterprises, it said. Another 2,800 rescuers with such SOEs have been ready to offer help.
