Nebraska Task Force 1 Flood Rescue | Lincoln News

Nebraska Task Force 1 just wrapped up a high-stakes, week-long mission in southern Texas, pulling out after responding to catastrophic flooding that left communities reeling. Activated July 1st for their first major East Texas deployment, this Lincoln Fire and Rescue-sponsored urban search and rescue team executed over 300 searches and 100 rescues, plus 50+ decontaminations and countless medical emergencies. Equipped for tornadoes, hurricanes, and more—and newly expanded with 13 recruits—they proved their mettle in one of the most demanding disaster responses of the year. Their return marks not just an end to a grueling mission, but a powerful testament to the grit and readiness of first responders when it matters most.
