home safety Volunteers end the search for a child dragged by the tide in Lázaro Cárdenas

Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán.- The group of volunteers who supported the searches for the 9-year-old boy named Alonso who was dragged by the sea on May 16 on the beaches of Lázaro Cárdenas, decided to conclude their work with a last inspection at sea and laying a wreath in memory of the child.
This group carried out this work without the accompaniment of any authority so that a significant number of crew members went to sea in 24 small boats.
With a search in deep-water areas along the Michoacan coast by volunteers, they did not obtain positive results.
Such rescue work is unprecedented in the municipality, given that support was given in terms of navy boats and helicopters by state and federal authorities, as well as a large number of citizens who supported with food for the search personnel, with cash to support the relatives and especially with labor and fuel for the search in the area coastal either on foot, on horseback in ATVs and with drones.
