Recent Rescue – 8/7/2014

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Washoe Lake area to search for an injured, lost dirtbike rider. The original staging was at the Jumbo Grade OHV parking area, but due to the location of the subject, staging was changed to the parking lot of Little Washoe Lake. RAVEN was able to locate the subject and give good coordinates, along with the best route for searchers to take to the location. When searchers located the subject, he declined any medical assistance for a hand injury sustained when he dumped his dirtbike. The dirtbike, however, was not operable, so search teams were able to strap it in the back of a side x side and bring it, along with the subject, back to staging.
