Night search and rescue operation in Banská Bystrica with a drone with a thermal camera

In 13.1.2025 in the evening we received a request for assistance from the operations centre of the Police of the Slovak Republic – Banská Bystrica Region, in the search for the missing pensioner.

Despite the night hour and low temperatures, 13 of our volunteers took part in this search in cooperation with several patrols of OR PZ BB, a dog handler from the service cynology of the PZ and OKP OR PZ BB.

Together with the police, we searched the selected locations, using a drone with a thermal camera. The flight work was carried out under the coordination of the controlled airspace CTR Sliač.

The demanding search took place until the early morning hours. Despite the best efforts of everyone involved, we have unfortunately not been able to find the missing lady so far. We are still searching for the lady.

We would like to thank everyone involved and the police for their professional cooperation.
