3/14/2015 – Lost/Stranded Subjects

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Bordertown area to search for two lost subjects in a vehicle that was out of gas. Cell phone pings put them just inside the Nevada border on the west side of Peavine. Search teams were deployed to the area, but when the first team arrived at the coordinates, the subjects were not there. By then, RAVEN had entered the area, and approximately 15 minutes later, located the vehicle approximately six miles to the west of the original coordinates, in the area of Crystal Peak. RAVEN supplied coordinates and guided SAR teams to the location of the vehicle. Enough fuel was provided to the stranded subjects to get them back to staging, and they were escorted to the Bordertown Command Post.
