SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the 7th Street area of Sun Valley to locate two subjects in a stuck UTV. Their cell phone ping placed them in the hills to the west of Sun Valley. A SAR team quickly located the subjects and got them back on an established dirt road. They were safely escorted out of the area.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the N. Virginia entrance to Peavine to locate numerous vehicles that were stranded on the main Peavine Road. Five vehicles were located approximately 1.5 miles from staging. They were in the process of self extracting themselves. SAR assets stayed on scene until all vehicles were safely headed downhill, then escorted them to SAR Staff at staging.

SAR Staff, Animal Control, and SVU traveled to Palomino Valley to deliver hay for the horses of a resident who cannot get to the main road due to flooding.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR once again responded to the Henness Pass area to search for stranded motorists. Interstate 80 had been closed due to snow, so motorists were using map apps that took them on this route. The initial call was for three adults and four children, but they self extracted before SAR assets arrived. However, while teams were checking the road, another vehicle was located with three subjects. They were transported to staging, where SAR staff delivered them to Gold Ranch.

SAR Staff and the SVU responded to the Henness Pass Rd. out of Verdi to locate a stranded motorist. As teams were headed up the road….the road that has multiple signs warning that it is not maintained and not to trust your GPS (Interstate 80 was closed), one abandoned vehicle was located, then a second abandoned vehicle. As teams traveled further up, the subject that had called 911 for help was located. The vehicle was left there, and he was loaded up to transport down to staging. Part of the team headed up to check the road to First Summit, but nothing was located. On the way down, a vehicle was found at the spot where the first abandoned vehicle was located, stuck in the ditch. That subject was also transported down to staging where both of them were taken to Gold Ranch Casino.
