Jamal Green, the Silver City Fire Department firefighter who was reported missing Sunday morning, Sept. 22, 2024, initiating a frantic search, has called his mother, who lives in Atlanta, telling her he was in Puerto Rico where his grandfather lives.

According to Milo Lambert, SCFD Chief, Green caught a flight out of Tucson on Sunday and flew to Puerto Rico with a layover stop in Florida.

Green also told his mother, who arrived in Silver City this afternoon, Tuesday, Sept. 24, that he is coming back to Silver City.

Lambert said, “All we know at this point is he is physically okay. We don’t know the whole story and won’t until we talk with him when he returns. But, we’re on his side.”
