Recent EMS Callout – 7/5/2014

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the entrance to Tunnel Creek Road at the Ponderosa parking lot to search for a paraglider that had crashed somewhere above Sand Harbor.  RAVEN was eventually able to spot the subject, and a plan was devised to hoist the subject.  Ground teams were also transported into the area by 4×4’s and a side x side in case the hoist could not be completed.  A Hasty member was lowered to the subject, who had severe lower body injuries, and proceeded to package and prep him for a hoist.  Both were then hoisted and transported back to staging, where the patient was transferred to a Careflight helicopter for transport to Reno.
