Missing fisherman found safe after search

LAKE OF THE OZARKS – Family and friends breathed a huge sigh of relief after a missing fisherman was found safe.

Last Tuesday (December 9) at approximately 6:07 p.m., the Gravois Fire Protection District (GFPD) was dispatched to the Gravois Arm of the Lake of the Ozarks near the eight Mile Marker to assist the Missouri State Highway Patrol with locating an elderly fisherman who was reported overdue.

GFPD responded with its fire boat and immediately requested additional mutual-aid support from the Rocky Mount Fire Protection District and the Lake Ozark Fire Protection District. Each deployed their fire boats to assist in searching the shoreline and channel.

A separate unit responded to the missing individual’s residence to gather further information and assist in search efforts.

A command post was established at the Gravois Public Access with the support of the Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District’s mobile command unit.
