Chris Granger knew the people of Haiti needed help. That's why he was going on a trip there.

What he couldn't have known, however, was that he would be heading to the Caribbean nation just before a natural disaster.

Granger, a captain with the Prince William County fire and rescue department, had planned for some time to participate in a mission trip to Haiti through his church, Warrenton Presbyterian, and Bethlehem Ministry, a Georgia-based

nonprofit organization that helps the poor in that country.
