Walchum: A New Adventure for You! - Distress signal prompts massive response mission
A distress call was received by the rescue center near water, prompting them to send out a team of emergency responders. Yet, no person or signal source was found at the location. A search was conducted in the marina, using boats and drones, but proved unsuccessful.
The investigation then extended to the Ems River near Walchum. Meanwhile, someone phoned the police and admitted to having thrown away a supposedly broken lifebuoy transmitter in a bin at the marina the day before. The transmitter was discovered to be working and the source of the signal.
Local fire departments joined the search operation, with 16 vehicles, 47 responders, and multiple divers. Also involved were two drones, four boats, two ambulances, a medical vehicle, the water police, and workers from the Ems-North Sea Waterways and Shipping Authority.
