212 followers · 477 posts · Server mastodon.socialA quick search and rescue task last night. A dementia patient went missing at 1530 but the SAR group wasn't called until 1900. We had just started practice when the call came so we headed out to the last known point (LKP) of the subject. A SAR volunteers who wasn't at practice walked out of his house to go to the task and found the subject walking in front of his house - 5km away from the LKP. We're taught to search on the way to the scene and it works.
