We are saddened to share the loss of Nancy Brooks. Nancy was a longtime
member of Ramapo SAR and served at 9.11 with her K9 Jazz. Nancy along with
her K9 Chief were the team’s ambassadors making countless visits to SAR
events and community gatherings. K9 Chief was a crowd pleaser wherever he
went. Many times, while traveling to Hawaii, Nancy would find the time to
volunteer and help a local SAR team there.
Nancy never stopped helping our veterans, one of special assignments was
assisting aging veterans on their “Honor Fight” to Washington DC and Hawaii for
years. She loved to hear their stories and I am sure she made each and every
one of them feel like the real hero they were.
Nancy was a true giver to her community as she volunteered as a EMT with her
local ambulance company.
Nancy had a way to make people laugh but was also a no-nonsense girl. When
Nancy was around things were organized and the mission was met.
Nancy was also loved the music of Alabama and could be seen in the audience
of their shows.
There was so much to Nancy and her life!
Nancy has left a mark on so many and will be truly missed.
Our deepest condolences to Nancy’s family.
Rest easy our friend. It is time to walk your dogs again.

WI-TF1 Update from Texas:
The Human Remains Detection team in Texas is getting a lot of steps in each day, and the K9s are hard at work getting a lot of strong hits while searching their area.

Our second group of WI-TF1 members have been searching 12 miles of the Guadalupe River and using Search and Rescue Common Operating Platform (SARCOP) to provide valuable field data about findings in the areas. This team has been partnered with K9s from North Carolina and Virginia Task Force 1 Urban Search and Rescue for targeted searches along the river.

Both teams are doing well and in good spirits despite the heartbreaking and mentally challenging days as they continue to search for those still missing. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts as WI-TF1 continues their work in the Texas Hill Country. 🙌
