INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) – After eight days in Florida, Indiana Task Force 1 returned home Saturday.
There was a small crowd waiting for the 80-person team at their headquarters on the west side.
They were deployed to help with search and rescue operations after Hurricane Dorian.
"We have some extremely well trained and just dedicated people that put a ton of time in we're talking 15 thousand hours of training a year to make sure they can respond at a moments notice," said Jay Settergren, Battalion Chief. "They leave their families and go halfway across the country to try and make a difference."
Thankfully, the damage from Huricane Dorian in Florida was not as bad as it could have been.
Task Force 1 did some patrols along the coast after the storm hit before heading back to Indiana.
