Yesterday, 25 Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Tactical Search and Rescue team members deployed to the Florida Panhandle as part of the Florida Urban Search and Rescue Task Force-3(FL-TF-3) to assist communities that may be impacted by Hurricane Isaias. ⛈️

Team members are trained and equipped to operate in difficult conditions, including flooded neighborhoods and areas made inaccessible by fallen trees, power lines, and other storm debris.

The task force also includes highly trained search and rescue dogs. These canines use their powerful sense of smell to detect people trapped beneath rubble or inside collapsed structures.
