TAMAQUA -- The search resumed for a missing man in one part of Schulykill County.

Volunteers, fire fighters, police, EMS and several other agencies gathered behind the Tamaqua High School searching for Jesse Farber, 29.

Family members reported him missing Tuesday and believe he may be in this wooded mountain area.

On Saturday, K9 search dogs joined in the search effort. Crews say it's a very challenging terrain.

"A very wooded dense area, a lot of rocky edges, a lot of old mining areas, different pits, so it's very challenging for the personnel in the woods today," said Shawn Martin of the Citizens Fire Company.

Volunteers plan to search for Farber until dusk.
