Task Force 1 members arrived in Orlando on Monday night, and replacement members will head from Dayton to the Sunshine State.
According to Task Force 1 leader Jeff Newman, members are in good spirits but are preparing for the worst.
The members spent the last week helping those impacted by Hurricane Helene in Asheville, N.C.
Josh Compton, a battalion chief from Green, first went to Florida with team members and then moved to counties east of Asheville, which experienced some of the worst damage.
