Units began searching for a victim who reportedly was swimming in the lake and was last seen clinging to a log near Nightingale Beach. Several swift water technicians from Co. 15 began a immediate search of the last known location of the swimmer. The search was aided by the dive team from Woodsboro VFD and later by Gamber VFD of Carroll County. Crews finally located the victim around 1800 hours.
