Ground Search and Rescue Personnel have successfully located the missing fisherman safe and sound just a few hours ago in the area of the club. Having spent two nights in the woods in fog and rain the gentleman was located mid morning today (Wednesday) in good spirits.
The SJRGC was proud to support Search and Rescue operations as we shut down our entire facility to ensure the safety of search and rescue personnel working inside our safety zones. We opened the clubhouse to provide a warm place to get out of the rain & dry off, provided plenty of safe parking for an incredible gathering of SAR equipment and vehicles, an area for the staging of SAR helicopters, and finally to provide a hot lunch today for all searchers on site.
Big thanks to all searchers who logged a lot of hours and miles on this search leading to a fantastic outcome. Thanks to all SJRGC members who assisted in shutting down the ranges, placing signage, opening the clubhouse, cooking lunch and doing all we could do to support the effort. Also thanks to all SJRGC members for your patience and understanding with regards to the temporary closure.
Thanks,
Mike Smith
President SJRGC
