Body Recovery

[RCC]

Does anyone assist the local search and rescue or fire departments using your side scan sonar? Having put in 20 years as a volunteer, I can see where doing this could be a benefit to the community for many reasons.

Here in Illinois almost all fire dept's got a john boat for retention ponds and ones near big lake got large bass boats fully equipped. About 5-7 years back they all got side scanners to search ponds &quarries. I know of only two times where fisherman on scene where asked to help, and that been long time back. What with mutual aid betwwen fire dept's they can have 6-8 fully equipped boats on water in matter of minutes

In Oklahoma, State Troopers have recovered several vehicles with bodies still inside. Some were reported missing 30 or more years.
