St. Johns County Fire Rescue, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and several other agencies are searching for two missing canoers on a pond on George Miller Road in Hastings Saturday afternoon.
–
FWC public information officer Chad Weber said they received calls about the missing people around 3:00 p.m. Weber said a third canoer was with them, but the person made it back to shore. Weber wasn’t able to give the condition or any information of the third person and he wasn’t able to give the age or gender of those missing.The search and rescue efforts had a large presence earlier with a command post, but it has scaled back with only two law enforcement vehicles Saturday evening.“Typically when we receive these phone calls for search and rescue we pull every asset we have in the area whether it’s air asset, via helicopter, sonar, or our dive team,” Weber said.
