Missouri Task Force 1, an urban search and rescue team attached to the Boone County Fire Protection District, began its trip home from a deployment in flooded south Texas on Friday.
The team was first sent to Texas about a week ago after heavy rains caused devastating flash flooding in the southern part of the state.
