Todays efforts to find the missing person gave no positive results. We will redouble our efforts tomorrow to find him. The Mexican Air Force will support our efforts with two rotary wing aircraft along with Tijuana Firefighters and Group Borstar with its 11 person team which will deploy early. Currently there are eight rescuers en route to VALLECITOS/BOTELLA AZUL 'Blue Bottle' to get started extra early in the morning for the ground search of the area.

RESCUED!
