Boone County Fire Protection District (BCFPD) has deployed specialty teams to assist with recovery efforts following flash flooding. 
On July 10, the National Weather Service issued flash flood warnings for multiple areas of southeast and central Missouri. 
BCFPD stated they deployed several specialty resources to support statewide flood response operations in Reynolds and Iron counties. 
Missouri Task Force 1 (MO-TF1) was deployed Friday morning as a Type 3 team and augmented to a Type 1 team within a few hours. 
The Disaster Situational Assessment and Reconnaissance Team also deployed with MO-TF1 and provided geographic information system technology, aerial reconnaissance, and disaster mapping and live video. 
BCFPD stated the deployment included water rescue teams and six search canines: three live-find K-9s and three human remains detection K-9s. 
They also mentioned the Helicopter Search and Rescue Team worked alongside the Missouri Air National Guard to assist with evacuating more than 200 campers and staff from Camp Taum Sauk . 
“This historic flooding required the response of multiple specialty disaster response elements provided by the BCFPD and MO-TF1 in support of the state's coordinated flood response," Fire Chief Doug Westhoff said.
