ST. PAUL, Min. – Minnesota’s Task force 1 has returned from their deployment to Texas.

They were sent to assist with search and rescue efforts following the deadly flooding on July Fourth.

Minnesota Task Force 1 is one of the state’s two urban search and rescue teams.

A team of five rescuers and two K-9s, Red and Royal, made the trip.

They worked long hours in the Texas heat to help find missing people.

Now that rescue efforts have wound down in Texas, they are back and ready for the next emergency.
