The caller – one of the males, was concerned as his passenger was 84 years old. 

S/Sgt. Bushell said local fire crews quickly assembled to assess the situation.

“While police were enroute, East Hants Ground Search and Rescue were consulted and placed on stand-by,” he said. “Luckily, firefighters made short work of locating the males and brought the matter to a quick and safe conclusion.”
