SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded to Pyramid Lake to assist Pyramid Lake Police on the report of two people in the water that had tried to swim to a drifting boat in the Needles area, but couldn’t catch up with it. Two people on shore lost site of the two subjects in the water, so a call was made for help. The two subjects in the water were able to swim to shore and were eventually located by a Careflight helicopter. The Pyramid Lake Police boat had been launched, but was unable to locate the drifting boat, which was being moved along at a good clip in wind and waves. RAVEN was able to locate the two other subjects, and guide ground SAR resources to pick them up.
