SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR began responding to the area of Laramie Drive and Old 395 in Pleasant Valley to search for a missing female that was last seen walking on West Laramie. As teams were en route, she was located by a TMFPD crew. SAR assets were cancelled.

SVU was requested to use side x sides to access a residence on Grass Valley Drive in Palomino Valley to evacuate a resident. As the team was about to deploy, the resident contacted dispatch and changed her mind due to the fact that her horses would need to be cared for, and they were not being evacuated.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Lakeside Dr./Holcomb Ranch Rd. area to conduct evacuation notices for residences that were being flooded, or endangered of being flooded, from overflowing ponds and the Steamboat Ditch.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR were again requested to search for multiple stranded motorists on the Henness Pass Rd. Interstate 80 was closed, so map apps have guided wayward motorists through this impassable route. 4×4 teams were almost able to make it to the first summit, but were blocked by heavy, wet snow. Possible tracks had gone farther, but they were getting covered by the snow. Two tracked ATV’s traveled farther, past the first summit, and a good portion of the way to the second summit, but nothing was located. On the way down, a van that did not stop at the road block, was located stuck. The van was occupied by 10 subjects on their way to California. Six of the subjects were transported down to staging, where they were then transported to the Gold Ranch truck stop. SAR teams were able to get the van chained up, unstuck, and turned around. The other four occupants were escorted down to staging.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and SVU staged at the Verdi entrance to Dog Valley to locate a stranded subject on the Henness Pass Rd., below the first summit. On the way in, four vehicles were encountered, none of which were the reporting party. One of the four vehicles was stuck, one had driven in to assist, a third was attempting to get the first vehicle unstuck, and the fourth was assisting. One SAR asset was left at this location while the others traveled on to locate the reporting party. The subjects were located just below the first summit – not stuck, but couldn’t go up, and couldn’t turn around. With assistance from SAR personnel, the vehicle was safely turned around and escorted back to staging. Meanwhile, the first stuck vehicle was pulled out by a private citizen, but one of the other vehicles that had come up to help had now slid into the ditch. The private citizen pulled out this vehicle, and both of these vehicles traveled uphill to a location where they could safely turn around, escorted by SAR. This was successfully completed, and all vehicles were escorted down to staging.
