We were lucky to travel with incredible teammates, including dear friends from our own backyard. Handler Deanna Lazowski who also hails from the region deployed with her partner K9 Orion. The canine search teams were rounded off with two of our mentors, from the South Bend area and Indianapolis.

K9 Jake and handler Ryan Cusack recently returned from North Carolina where they were deployed with Indiana USAR Task Force #1 in response to Hurricane Florence. After riding out the storm with winds exceeding 100 mph, they were immediately put to work helping residents in the Wilmington area while nearly 30" of rain continued to fall.

Thank you Mayor David Uran, Fire Chief Dave Crane, Crown Point Fire Rescue members, and all those at home who have supported this program from the very beginning and throughout this most recent deployment. We will post more videos and news stories in the days to come, recapping the events and our team's involvement.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon couldn’t keep us off the rubble pile today. We’re soaked, but the current triple threat of hurricanes and storms in the Atlantic balances our perspective. Train like you fight!

Godspeed, friends.
