Just after 10:30 am Monday, QFD was alerted to assist the Pa State Police with a search for a possible drowning victim in Eden Township. The first-due boat (Robert Fulton Boat 89) was requested to assist. Rescue 57 arrived, gathered information, and began a quick land-based search of the pond. On arrival of Boat 89, a water-based search commenced. A privately owned boat was also used with sonar to check out an area of interest that the members on Boat 89 located. The Dive Team from Rawlinsville Fire Company was requested to the scene to assist in the search.
Approximately 2.5 hours into the search, with boats, members in the water, and PSP drone and canine working, the subject returned to the scene on foot, was un-injured and was never in danger.
Thanks to all the mutual aid companies that assisted.
This was call #200 for the QFD for 2022.
