Rescue from the Baltic Sea - Lifeguard located 17-year-old in distress with drone

German Red Cross lifeguards of the Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft (DLRG) rescued a 17-year-old girl from the Baltic Sea at Graal Müritz beach (Landkreis Rostock) on the late Saturday evening. The girl from the region had gone swimming with her friend after sunset, who lost sight of her shortly thereafter and reported her missing, said a spokesperson for the rescue services.

Using a drone equipped with a thermal imaging camera, the young woman was spotted approximately 100 meters from the shore. A lifeguard then brought her ashore largely unharmed. Initially, she was taken to a hospital as a precaution. The "Ostsee-Newspaper" reported on the incident first.

1. The rescue operation took place in the Rostock District, specifically in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where the Baltic Sea is abundant.
2. The 17-year-old girl and her friend had decided to go for a bath excursion at Graal Müritz beach, which is located in the Rostock District.
3. The DLRG, stationed in Rostock, was called to action when an emergency situation arose due to the girl's disappearance.
4. Fortunately, the lifeboat from the Rostock DLRG chapter was quick to respond and played a crucial role in the successful rescue operation in the Baltic Sea.
