According to a social media post by the department...
Saturday was an exceptionally successful day for Russell Counties Search and Rescue Team. Their Mock Missing Person Scenario covered 166 acres of private land generously provided by two members. Searchers meticulously covered approximately 75 to 100 acres of diverse terrain. The flawless communication, teamwork, attention to detail, and overall effort demonstrated highlights the unmatched dedication of our volunteers.
The Department sent out special thanks to Foggy Bottom Campground for allowing us to use your beautiful property for this event. We also extend our gratitude to Kentucky Emergency Management for providing the state mobile command and the staff to set it up for us. Our heartfelt thanks also go to Russell County Emergency Management, Russell County Sheriff’s Department, Russell County EMS, and Lincoln County Emergency Management for your invaluable support.
