The first call came around 17:00 from the Engure parish in the Tukums region. Another lost person had to be searched for almost at midnight in the Vabole parish of the Augšdaugava region in Latgale. Rescuers surveyed the forest on ATVs and also used fire trucks to emit sound signals. In both cases, the individuals were found. VUGD reminds that before going mushroom or berry picking, one should inform relatives about where exactly you are going and when you plan to return. It is necessary to take a fully charged mobile phone with you. If you realize that you are lost, rescuers recommend staying calm and not trying to wander aimlessly in the forest. You should call 112 and describe your location or noticeable landmarks nearby as accurately as possible.
