On Saturday, May 11^th, HGSS Station Makarska informs the Centre 112, located above Kotišina in Makarska emiting the first SOS signal. In the first place, the first team consisted of Makarska Station. After exploring with a drone, a part of  members went  the field. In the team rescuer from Split Station joined them. As it was a radio broadcasting device, HAKOM was also called to help. Within a short  period  of time, with HAKOM's experts, vehicles and equipment, the SOS signal source was located and it was established that happily this was a human neglect. And this 12-hour action showed good co-operation with all the emergency services that successfully accomplished the 12 hour action.
