MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Members of Wisconsin’s Task Force 1 are back home after helping with flood-related search efforts in Texas.
Twenty-one-members of Wisconsin’s Urban Search and Rescue Task Force spent two weeks in Central Texas assisting recovery efforts following catastrophic flooding. Two teams left in early July to search for missing people with the first team consisting of five people and three canines.
More help was needed, so Wisconsin sent another sixteen personnel. Task Force K9s are trained to bark if human remains were found.
Task force members helped with water search in areas along the Guadalupe River, including the Canyon Lake Area.
