Another Family Rescued from Red River After Getting Lost After Dark

Crews with the Adams Fire Department rescued a family of five from the Red River this evening after the group became lost after dark.

According to Adams Fire Chief Donovan Tucker, the family launched late from the Red River, darkness fell, and they became disoriented. They called 911 for help. A language barrier complicated the situation.

Tucker said crews located the family and brought them safely to shore. All five are now safe.

The family included 3 very young children.
Though the situation had a successful outcome on the water, officials encourage boaters and paddlers to plan ahead, allow enough time to return before dark, and always let someone know their plans. Powered by TriStar NorthCrest Medical Center

Tech Trivia…
How to get better battery life..📱

A weak cell signal doesn’t just make your phone slower, it also drains your battery much faster.

When your phone has only one or two bars, it actually increases its transmitting power to reach the nearest cell tower. It also spends more time searching for a stronger signal and may have to resend data if the connection is poor.

This is especially noticeable during a Facebook Live broadcast, where your phone is constantly uploading video. A weak signal can cut your streaming time significantly compared to a location with a strong signal.

So if you’re trying to conserve battery life, moving just a short distance to get a stronger signal can make a surprising difference. Sometimes those extra bars are worth more than carrying a bigger battery pack. Powered by Bluegrass Realty & Property Management , Inc.
