Saturday was day three of a search for a child who fell into the water in Guysborough County.
RCMP say crews were dispatched to Cooks Cove around 1:40 p.m. Thursday after a report that a child had fallen into the water while fishing with a man and another child. The man entered the water immediately to rescue the child but was unsuccessful.
Multiple fire services, EHS lifeflight, Ground Search and Rescue teams from Pictou County, Strait area and Inverness County, along with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, civil air search and rescue association and multiple RCMP units have been on scene.
According to a social media post from Nova Scotia Fire/Emergency/Info at 5 p.m. Saturday, the search is winding down for the night.
The public is still asked to avoid the area to allow emergency services to do their work.
