(NATIONAL) — The Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) announced that an additional three crew members have joined Colorado Task Force 1 (CO-TF1) in Texas to assist with search and rescue efforts after the floods.
According to CSFD, the three crew members deployed with CO-TF1 on Monday, July 14, to the area along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, Texas.
CO-TF1 reported on Sunday night that efforts had been paused as rain and flash flood warnings made efforts too dangerous to continue at the time. Crew members were able to get back out for a few hours after the rains stopped, searching in places of interest that were accessible after the storm.
The team is also searching, clearing, and evaluating damaged structures.
According to CO-TF1, the three CSFD crew members will be joining 30 other personnel from Colorado, as well as a search K9, and will meet up with the 48 CO-TF1 already in Texas.
