On Tuesday morning at 5:15 am, Elkland Sar was requested by the Sheffield Vol. Fire Dept. to respond to assist them with a search. A 65-year-old male went missing from a hike Monday afternoon and didn’t return to his residence from the Allegheny National Forest.

As searchers were being dropped off to start their search tasks in the morning, the individual made his way to a road and was transported back to the Command Post and evaluated by a medical team. ( I apologize for not knowing what agency they were from).
It was noted the individual had a medical emergency while hiking and after resting the night was able to continue walking out in the morning. Also worth noting, was the individual was prepared with a backpack and built a fire to keep warm throughout the night.
