As the story of the weekend dies down, CFTK caught up with the Terrace Search and Rescue team who were in Burns Lake helping out in the search for 6 year old Oaklynn Schwedder. And according to co-manager Dwayne Sheppard, this was a search like no other.
“It was no doubt the biggest search I’ve been a part of in my 26 year career,” he said. “Big searches are very interesting, there’s an atmosphere and there’s a more common goal. I told all the volunteers, get ‘trained, go on rescues, go on searches in hope that you find that one search that gets you hooked. And this is one of those searches, that you're doing something good with your time.”
An open house will be available to the public September 25th at 7pm for those who would be interested in volunteering
