After spending nearly three weeks in North Carolina and Florida to assist with hurricane recovery, Ohio Task Force 1 is heading home.

Task Force 1 members arrived in Orlando on Sept. 24 before heading to North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.

The members spent more than a 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.
