TURNERS FALLS — After emergency personnel responded to a report of someone calling for help, searches of the power canal along Depot Street on Monday and Tuesday did not locate anyone, according to Turners Falls Fire Chief Todd Brunelle.

Brunelle said his department responded at around 10 p.m. on Monday to a report of someone calling for help in the Depot Street area. He said the Montague Police Department also responded, as did the Greenfield Fire Department, the Northfield Dive and Rescue Team, and the Greenfield Police Department’s drone unit, but did not locate anyone in need of assistance.

“We did an initial search of the shoreline and the water,” Brunelle said Tuesday morning. “As of last night, we did not find anybody.”

Brunelle said the initial efforts were suspended at around 2 a.m. Tuesday, with plans to return for further evaluation after daybreak.

Floyd “Skip” Dunnell III, Northfield’s fire chief, said the dive and rescue team had two divers in the water for about 30 minutes during the search Monday night, with four surface support personnel. He said the divers searched a roughly 40-by-60-foot area of the canal where ice had broken up.

When emergency personnel returned for a follow-up search Tuesday morning, Brunelle said a combined effort with the Massachusetts State Police Underwater Recovery Team and Massachusetts Environmental Police didn’t locate anyone in the quarter-mile search radius. He said underwater search vehicles, drones and dive teams were not able to locate anyone in the water, or around the water and ice.

Brunelle said first responders will continue to monitor the banks of the canal even though in-water operations have been suspended. He reminds people that “no ice is safe ice” this time of year.
