Ben Butler, a mission coordinator with the Summit County Rescue Group, said rescuers are happy to see other rescuers when more than one group responds to a call.
Butler said the Summit County Rescue Group used a drone that has a camera and speaker to contact the hikers before rescuers hiked to their location.
“That was a big morale boost for those two hikers,” Butler said.
