El Paso rescuers don’t find person seen in the water in Chihuahuita
EL PASO, Texas — A search by two El Paso Fire Department water rescue and dive teams didn't find any signs of a person reportedly seen in the water Wednesday evening near the U.S.-Mexico border in the city's Chihuahuita section.
A fire department spokesman said the initial search effort took place along a waterway near the Chihuahuita Rec Center, which is located in the 400 block of Charles Road.
A second group of rescuers continued the search at Paisano Drive and Ruhlen Court.
The incident was reported around 5:30 p.m. by the U.S. Border Patrol and search efforts by firefighters ended about 6:50 p.m.
