Fire personnel from the Phoenix Fire Department jumped into action to help a man who fell into a sinkhole and was swept away through a storm drain — in their sister city, Hermosillo in Mexico.

Members of the Arizona advisory team, along with Phoenix Councilman Michael Nowakowski and Councilwoman Betty Guardado, flew across the southern border to Mexico on Friday to help find the man, who has been missing since Monday.

Authorities said there were several different drainage pipes the man could have gone through, and so the crew worked to navigate the complex system to try to find him, KNXV-TV reported. Officials said the crew returned Friday after Phoenix locals "were able to make the trip and ensure operations were conducted effectively and safely."

The man was still missing as of Sunday, according to authorities.

Phoenix and Hermosillo, located in the Mexican state of Sonora roughly 350 miles south of Arizona's capital, have been "sister cities" since 1975. Sister, or twin, cities agree to work together and assist one another, according to the Sister Cities website.

The drainage system the man fell into is reportedly complex. He was reportedly missing as of Sunday.
