Tennessee Task Force 1, consisting of forty-four responders, including firefighters, paramedics, doctors, engineers, and canine teams, deployed at 1 PM today en route to stage in Texas and the group includes members of the Dresden First Baptist Church.
They will activate as a Type 3 Team and be responsible for urban search and Rescue efforts. The tour length is uncertain, and cellular service may be compromised in the area, but they will provide updates when available.
Please keep the entire TN-TF1 team, Shelby County Fire Department members, other responding teams, and all those who may be affected by Hurricane Beryl in your thoughts and prayers in the days to come.
