For mushrooms and thickets: the pensioner had to call for the help of rescuers

A lover of quiet hunting from the urban district of Klin almost spent the night in the woods. The 74-year-old woman went for mushrooms in a thicket near the village of Pokrovka and at some point realized that she did not recognize the area. She could not find the way back, but she figured out what to do: she called the Sistema-112 service.

The signal arrived quickly, and the workers of the PSCH-313 search and rescue post Mosoblpozhspas moved to the place. Volunteers of the detachment "LisaAlert" joined the operation - they were able to transfer the coordinates of the woman to rescuers.

Further, the work went on simultaneously in two directions: rescuers moved in the right direction, giving sound signals, and the pensioner herself was coordinated by phone, prompting where to go. Such coherence gave the result - after an hour and a half the woman was found.

She didn’t need medical attention; she felt well. Rescuers safely brought the "loss" home.

To hike for mushrooms did not turn into a rescue operation, experts advise to prepare in advance:

In the forest, remember landmarks: clearings, power lines, streams, railways. If you’re lost, stop, don’t panic and call 112. Describe the area to the dispatcher, transfer the phone to energy-saving mode and wait for help. Respond to rescue signals.
