Three members of the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department deployed early Tuesday morning as part of the Ohio Task Force 1 team.
These Toledo Fire & Rescue members are currently in the Dayton area in support of search and rescue efforts as a result of the severe weather that passed through that area last evening.
Current Dayton area mission objectives have yet to be completely defined but will include search and rescue operations in the areas heavily affected by the severe weather and tornadoes.
