PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Pennsylvania's Task Force 1 has returned home after helping in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael.

In all, they searched 92 hundred structures across the two counties.

Two task force members remain deployed. They are serving on an "Incident Support Team" for FEMA.
