On Sunday, our local Nevada Task Force 1 was deployed under a state of Nevada activation to support response and recovery efforts for the Hawk Fire in Washoe County. This team is one of the 28 Federal Urban Search and Rescue teams and normally deploys to natural disasters nationwide. The task force includes members from all the valley fire departments, as well as doctors and structural engineers from our community.

The team deployed as a mission-ready package to support canine-assisted searches. The team is ready to support Washoe County and expects to start conducting searches tomorrow morning, continuing all week.
