Recent EMS Callout – 6/29/2014

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR assisted North Lake Tahoe Fire in locating a hiker in distress on the Mt. Rose trail, near the waterfall.  The subject was complaining of very sore hips and could not walk any further.  Teams accessed the site from both the trailhead entrance as well as the Relay Ridge Road entrance.  The subject declined Careflight transportation, so she was packaged in a stokes basket, placed on a litter wheel, and moved to an ambulance that was positioned at the area where the foot trail takes off from the Relay Ridge Road.  She was transported back to staging where she was taken to Reno by private vehicle.
