The team was paged out that a fourteen years old girl was missing from the Devil's Slide Trail. As I was paging the team out, I got another call that the girl had called from Tahquitz fire look-out tower. She had become lost but knew how to get back to the tower having been there earlier in the day. She used a forestry radio to call out for help. She said she was fine, just lost. I then held back the rest of the team except for Lee Amson and Rick Floquet. I sent them in to find the girl and escort her back to Humber Park. They called me at midnight to tell me that they were out with our subject and no problems.
