COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Missouri Task Force 1, an urban search and rescue team attached to the Boone County Fire Protection District, began its trip home from a deployment in flooded south Texas on Friday.

The team was first sent to Texas about a week ago after heavy rains caused devastating flash flooding in the southern part of the state. The team worked in Zapata County, near the southeastern Texas-Mexico border, and then staged in San Antonio to be ready if needed for Tropical Storm Bertha response.

The trip home will take about a day and a half, the Task Force stated in a news release.
