(PHOTO LINK AT END OF ARTICLE) At approximately 7:00PM on Sunday afternoon, a search was launched for three children (aged 6,8,9) at Gur Camp on Whittaker Road in South Fallsburg, NY.

Catskills Hatzolah responded to a call from the parents, and and dozens of members arrived to help.

Special Assistant to the Superintendent of the New York State Police Rabbi Bernard Freilich arrived on the scene just as Hatzolah was establishing a command post, and placed calls to Fallsburg Police Chief Simmy Williams, Sullivan County Sheriff Mike Schiff, and State Police Captain Jimmy Boyland for their assistance with K9 and other resources. Misaskim dispatched two vehicles with light towers, and Bochrim from nearby camps arrived to offer their assistance as well. A trailer with ATV’s was dispatched from Freeds Bungalow Colony as well.

All the resources quickly placed together were Boruch Hashem not needed, when word came that all three children were found in the forest at approximately 8:00PM by a Hatzolah member – in healthy condition. It took close to 20 minutes for the children to be brought back to the command post, where they were happily united with their parents.
