SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Diamond Peak Ski Resort to locate a mountain biker on the Tahoe Rim Trail who was complaining of possible cardiac problems. As teams were responding, Careflight located the subject, but had to land approximately one mile from his location. They requested assistance in transporting the subject by wheeled litter to the helicopter. SAR teams assisted in the transport of the subject to the helicopter, but he refused Careflight’s transport to the hospital. He was driven down to staging.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to an area west of Spanish Springs High School to search for a teenage girl that had become disoriented by the heavy smoke produced by the King Fire while hiking from the high school to Sun Valley. She also reported having breathing problems. Although SAR Staff had a cellphone ping location, the subject kept walking, even though she was told to not move. Search teams checked many roads in the area, but a private citizen located the subject near the dirt extension of Leon Drive in Sun Valley. Deputies returned her to staging.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Fish Springs Ranch area to search for two lost hunters that were scouting for chukar. Due to heavy smoke in the area from the King Fire, the two subjects, after separating to scout different areas, had both become disoriented. One of the subjects located the vehicle they had parked near Sugarloaf Peak, but then left again to search for the other subject. A search team located this subject and returned him to his vehicle, which had a dead battery. The second subject had given a vague description on the phone before the cellphone battery died of seeing a dry lake bed in the distance, and was traveling what he thought was east along a fenceline. Due to the heavy smoke, RAVEN was grounded through the night, but was able to come into the area in the morning. Search teams checked local roads near where the vehicle had been parked, as well as roads at lower elevations. At approximately 1000hrs., RAVEN was checking a fenceline that traveled east/west along the ridge, east of Vinegar Peak, and located the subject. He was flown to the staging area and reunited with family.
