Firefighters find missing woman

A Sonoma woman is safe at home following an hour-long, multi-agency hunt yesterday afternoon which included firefighters, bus drivers and a downtown flyover by the “Henry 1” sheriff’s helicopter.
“Given the extreme heat today, and her situation, we put as many people on it as we could,” said Sonoma Police Sgt. Dave Thompson, explaining that the 45-year-old Denmark Street resident suffered from a variety of medical issues including epilepsy. “She was okay – we returned her to her home and she was fine.”
An engine crew from the Sonoma Valley Fire and Rescue Authority found the woman near the corner of Second Street West and West Napa Street shortly after 3 p.m.
Firefighters were tending a variety of medical calls and could not be reached for comment at presstime.
Thompson said police also notified local taxi and bus drivers – including those working for the school district.
“Since they were getting out, all their bus drivers were driving around,” Thompson said. “It was good teamwork.”
