    A group of military personnel in US Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are assembled in formation, each wearing red inflatable personal flotation devices (PFDs), suggesting a water rescue or flood response operation. They are standing on red gravel terrain with dramatic red rock canyon formations visible in the background, consistent with the Zion National Park or Colorado City/Hildale area of Utah/Arizona. A yellow Labrador retriever sits nearby, possibly a search and rescue dog.

    Gov. Gary Herbert activated the Utah National Guard to assist local first responders in search and rescue efforts after flash floods hit the border town of Hildale, Utah. Soldiers from the Utah Guard 2-222nd Field Artillery Battalion were dispatched from the nearby communities of St. George and Cedar City to aid in the rescue efforts. The flood, which raged out of Maxwell Canyon and through the tiny border town of Hildale and Colorado City, Ariz., about 5 p.m. on Monday, is believed to be the single most deadly weather event in Utah history.
