SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Keystone Canyon Trailhead to assist RFD and REMSA with locating and transporting a subject that had crashed while mountain biking.  His location was approximately one mile up the trail.  The subject was packaged and transported on a wheeled litter down to a waiting ambulance.  When teams were in a debriefing, a subject approached SAR Staff, stating that he had come across an older individual in the hills that appeared to possibly need assistance.  He described the location, approximately two miles past the “R” above the Keystone Canyon west trailhead.  SAR Staff was able to locate the subject – he was not in need of any medical assistance – just out for a walk in the hills.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the first Cold Springs exit to search the northwest side of Peavine for a stranded vehicle with three occupants and one dog.  Teams were supplied with a cell phone ping location, which proved to be very accurate.  The occupants did not have any power in the vehicle, so they were supplied blankets until heated transport vehicles reached the location.  The subjects and dog were safely transported back to staging.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, TMFPD, and WCSAR responded to the Mt. Rose Summit to locate and rescue a paraglider that had crashed on the south side of Slide Mountain at approximately 9200′.  Ground teams were transported to the nearest location, about .4 miles from the crash site, along with a team that RAVEN hoisted down to package the patient.  The subject, with multiple injuries, was hoisted and flown to the Mt. Rose Summit and transferred over to Careflight.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to Lois Allen Elementary School in Sun Valley to search for a possible deceased subject that children had found in the hills earlier in the day.  As teams were arriving, it was discovered that the information was made up by the children.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, REMSA, RFD, and WCSAR responded to the Michael Thompson Trailhead on the report of a hiker with a compound fracture of an ankle.  Teams located and packaged the subject so that RAVEN could perform a hoist.  The subject was then transported to an awaiting ambulance near the trailhead.
