BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. - The Butte County Search
and Rescue (SAR) team rescued a driver stuck in flood waters on Wednesday.
SAR responded to River Road east of Chico while it was
closed.
The driver was stranded in an area surrounded by water that
was not easily accessible by vehicle.
The SAR team had to park about a mile away and used a drone
to locate the man before sending people on a raft to bring the man to safety.
SAR said the drone it used came from a grant it received
after approval from the North Valley Community Foundation nearly three weeks
ago.
The drone has thermal capabilities, allowing SAR to use it
at night, if necessary.
