Every rescue department should have a drone operator on the team! Every town should have a list of drone owners and have them on a list to call, even dogs are now found with drones! Great job folks, time is of the essences! You done good!
I can actually see this happening. My mom has Alzheimer’s and she snuck out of the apartment complex and got lost because all the other units in this complex looks the same so she was totally lost and it took me four hours to find her……. and it was very hot that day and when I brought her back home, she was thanking me and telling me how thirsty she is and she will not be going outside today and 15 minutes later my mom tried to sneak out again. She already forgot she was…..SMH.
I've been there myself. You can't turn your back on them for a minute they will try to escape they can be little rascals with dementia related illnesses
Glad to know she was found alive. Several people lost their lives in AZ and Utah recently, lost hiking in excessive heat and as result of flash flooding in canyons. My condolences to their families.
I hear that is common for those who may suffer with dementia that they often wonder. Friend of mines mother takes off everyday. She's going for a walk. Her daughter is an awesome caretaker and has to follow behind her in a car- which agitate the mom saying she's going to her daughter house. She sometimes doesn't recognize her and talks to her- while looking for her at the same time. It's not easy at all. Hopefully this lady has family too.
she has to have dementia.... no way around it... she needs to be protected from herself after this type of incident.... she simply cannot live alone anymore or with whoever is living in her home.... she could very easily have passed before being found.
@@phillipmarlowe0525 Do you know anything about dementia and Alzheimer's? Alzheimer's is a type of dementia. Stuff like this is a caretaker's worst nightmare. Dementia is the huge medical elephant in the room that no one wants to deal with...
As a NP who works in diagnosing and managing dementias, I challenge your assumption of her " having to move". How often is she going missing? And what's is locking her up protecting her from? Happiness on the ?? Family farm? Yes I'd rather freedom, and joy, and die living, than locked up to live an extra five years miserable. So there us indeed a balance, and things to be assessed. But dementia just gets worse.
@@joywebster2678 your last sentence sums it up... it just gets worse from here. this is the first, not the last time this will happen to her and not many people are qualified to care for her.
First and foremost thank you so much for the fine work that you do within public safety great job! Drones definitely are making a big difference within public safety there's a great organization out there supporting public safety called the National Public Safety Drone Donation Program, when you purchase Drones, counter drone tech, training or software through their partners, not only do you get best possible value, in addition up to 10% of the net proceeds goes back to support that foundation to help underfunded departments receive the same life saving tech. Allow them to quote your next purchase and help support a great program.
Like my grandmother said in the 70's . She said living now is easier than when she was coming up. If we didn't have drone tech it might have been a lot longer before that woman was found, and she could have died.
Thank God she was still alive 😊, during searches like this the person is badly hurt or deceased. But great job of not giving up especially that drone's help 💯
Bless her...pitiful...thank you all involved for finding this lost elderly lady...and thank you, Lord God, for watching over her...Christ Jesus be praised.
This story is much happier than the title lets on. I heart the lady. She may have been 'missing', but she wasn't lost. She knew exactly where she was going and King Kong himself couldna stopped her. Thankfully the SCFD found her before Kong did or we'd have a 60 foot tall gorilla that needed rescuing and they don't make stretchers that big.
