This Tuesday, November 26 around 3:15 p.m., firefighters intervened on the course of the Ariège in Varilhes to rescue a person who had probably disappeared in the river. They were contacted by two witnesses who reportedly heard someone screaming for help before disappearing.
Calls for help emanating from the surroundings of the watercourse, the firefighters mobilized significant resources to search for a hypothetical missing person: four personnel specialized in water rescue, a dog team, a drone remote pilot and an ambulance. The column leader coordinated the different units. The search, which was unsuccessful, was suspended at nightfall, while emergency services did not know if a person had really fallen into the water.
Doubt therefore still hovers over a potential disappearance. The gendarmerie, present on site, carried out the usual findings. The firefighters finally put a definitive end to their operations, handing over to the gendarmerie. Contacted, she indicated that no one had disappeared, citing the implausible testimony of an 85-year-old person. No resumption of research is planned tomorrow.
