After deploying to Florida ahead of Hurricane Idalia on Monday, members of Virginia Task Force 2 were deployed into one of the affected communities on Thursday.

Among the 80 members of VATF2 are members of the Henrico County Fire Department, including Assistant Chief Mark Cumashot.

Cumashot said they were stationed at a convention center in Orlando which gave them the ability to deploy to any direction in the state and gave them protection from the hurricane, being further inland, and said they only experienced two days of rain.
