The crews are also utilizing divers to physically search underwater.
Firefighters were also called out around 7:15 p.m. Sunday to the same area, but called off the search when it became too dark for them to operate safely.

Investigators say Robert Lyons was the last person to see Amiah Roberts alive.
In a press conference held Saturday, IMPD said the infant's disappearance had been updated to a homicide investigation, but the details about why it had been upgraded have not been released.
Detectives say Lyons told them where the baby should have been, but after checking each of those locations they have been unable to find Amiah.
They say some of the places Lyons sent them didn't even exist.
Since March 10, detectives say Lyons has "taunted" Amiah's mother about where she could be.
