RedactedNarrative: On 08/22/2020, at approximately 2053 hours, subject contacted MCSO by telephone and reported a flash flood had occurred on Apache Lake at Alder Creek. She said two people had fallen out of a boat and were missing having been caught up in the rushing debris as the boat was overturned and swept into rocks and upstream.
  
  Multiple units responded to this call but due to the remote location, and roadway access, arrival on scene was delayed.
  
  Initial units used MCSO patrol boat LP-37 to access the Alder Creek area. They were able to locate three of the five subjects from the capsized boat and remove them to the Apache Lake Aid Station. Others were evacuated by other members of their party on a private boat. Deputy was able to determine that two people were still missing. Subject1 was last seen on the boat attempting to put on a life jacket. Subject2 was last seen on the shoreline.
  
  Multiple witness interviews were done. See supplemental reports for information obtained in those interviews.
  
  Due to the remote location and lack of light the search operation was suspended until daylight with units, and more resources, expected to reconvene at 0600 hours. Command Post (CP) will be the Apache Lake Aid Station N 33.57808 W - 111.25225. Arizon State SAR mission 2021-3779 was issued.
  
  On 08/23/2020 units gathered equipment (to include pike poles, rakes, ropes and a small aluminum boat) and returned to the Alder Creek area. The cove was full of debris consisting of tree parts, mud, vegetation and other wildfire debris. Units spent the day trying to clear a path and area around the overturned boat. USFS supplied a cut crew to help with the removal of trees to make access easier. The teams were unable to locate either subject and suspended operations at approximately 1630 hours to resume on 08/24/2020 at 0700 hours. Family and friends remained in the area of the Apache Lake Resort and were provided updates throughout the day.
  
  On 08/24/2020 we found that over night a lot of the debris had cleared but access was still very limited. Equipment Services was on site repairing two boats from yesterdays operation. One team began taking apart the large debris pile we pulled out of the area yesterday. A second team deployed the ROV hoping to get under the floating debris and search the area.
  
  After clearing the debris pile the teams managed to get the boat out into the cove. Divers were deployed to attach a winch cable and lift bags. Once on the surface, still capsized, the divers began pulling debris from inside the boat. At approximately 1715 hours Subject1 was found, deceased, and recovered. The boat was then pulled over to a smaller and cleaner cove and the divers continued checking the boat. Subject2 was not located. The operation was shut down for the day at approximately 2000 hours and will resume on 08/25/20.
  
  Family and friends remained in the area of the Apache Lake Resort and were provided updates throughout the day.
  
  Search operations continued until Subject2 surfaced on 09/02/2020. The Dive Team had just repositioned their boat and anchored when Legrand surfaced nearby.
