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.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded on a mutual aid call to the Lahontan Reservoir area to assist Lyon County in searching for a horseback rider that did not come back from a ride.  He had taken two horses with him on Friday, but did not return on Sunday.  One of the horses arrived at the residence on Sunday evening.  A friend located the other horse and a saddle Monday morning.  Foot teams searched the immediate area around the location of the tethered horse, RAVEN searched the area from above, and ATV teams checked areas farther out from the location of the horse.  Late in the afternoon, RAVEN spotted the subject and guided foot and horse posse teams to the location.  The subject was deceased.

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.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and SVU began responding to Pyramid Lake on the report of an adult and child being blown out into the lake in a boat that was disabled.  As teams were leaving Reno, Pyramid Lake SAR located the boat.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the dirt extension of Chimney Dr. to search for a missing, overdue target shooter.  Foot teams, 4×4’s, ATV’s, and RAVEN thoroughly searched the area.  The subject was located, deceased.
