Deputies were out late last night working to rescue a man that had gotten lost in a wooded area near his home in the Mt. Olive community. The man was eventually located by one of our drone pilots and safely recovered by our Emergency Services Team. We are thankful and relieved to have the man back safely home with his family.
The DSAR member found him ...
I got called out to find a man lost in the woods behind his house last night in Ohatchee, AL. I flew from about 11:00 pm until 12:30 am. I found him on my first battery, about 10 minutes into the search. The woods were so thick I was on my 4th battery before we got him out of the woods. I had to guide our Emergency Services Team in to him and then back out. The man was ok and didn’t require any medical services. I was flying my Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual with the spotlight attachment. I also flew under my § 107.29 – Daylight Operations waiver.
