SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and WCSAR responded to the Tunnel Creek entrance to the Flume Trail on the report of an injured mountain biker. As teams were arriving at staging, NLTFPD made patient contact and transported him in a side x side down to a waiting ambulance.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR assisted PLTP and Rangers in locating two missing subjects on a PWC that had broken down on a trip from Warriors Beach to the Needles. An accompanying PWC left the two subjects to go call for help, but wind and waves pushed the subjects a number of miles toward the middle of the lake. Search teams checked the entire area around the Needles and the shoreline all the way back to Warriors without any success. One search boat decided to employ a strategy of starting at the approximate location of where they were last seen and traveling downwind. With the help of radar and Night Vision equipment, this technique worked. The subjects and PWC had drifted approximately five miles from where they were last seen. They were taken on board and the PWC was towed back to Pelican Dock.

SAR Staff and SVU responded to the N. Virginia entrance to Peavine to locate and assist two people that had incurred damage to their UTV while off-roading. The damage was severe enough to prevent any moving of the UTV, so the subjects and their gear were transported down to staging. The subjects were able to retrieve their UTV the following day.

The SVU performed safety patrols at Pyramid Lake during the Labor Day weekend. Courtesy reminders about wearing PFD’s while paddle boarding, having a spotter on a PWC while towing a skier, and tows of boats and PWC were performed.
