[Reporter Wu Shengru/Report from Keelung] A father and son surnamed Xie, who live in a mountainous area in Keelung, went to the water source near their residence to repair the water pipes yesterday, but lost their way in the mountains due to the dark sky, so they had to call 110 for help.

After the police received the report, they immediately referred the civil defense team members who were familiar with the terrain and asked the fire department to send personnel to assist them to gather manpower to search and rescue in the mountainous area.

However, due to poor visibility and difficult search and rescue, the fire department originally planned to enter the mountain again at 8:30 am today for rescue.

However, the police and civil defense personnel still decided to continue the search. In the early morning of this morning, they found the father and son surnamed Xie and successfully guided them down the mountain.

The police received a report stating that the father and son surnamed Xie were 78 years old and 48 years old respectively. Because the water pipe was broken, they went to the water source one kilometer away to check, but when they returned home, they found that they could not find the way. Call the police.
