SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and WCSAR responded to the Tamarack Lake pull-out on SR431 to locate three subjects that were lost, having difficulty in the snow, and frustrated by the tree cover. Ground teams accessed their location by using a SAR text ping and safely guided them down to staging.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR were responded to the Tamarack Lake area on the report of a back-country skier with a leg injury. Ground teams were able to locate the subject’s party, treat, package, and transport down to staging where the subject was transported by ambulance.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR were requested to assist RPD in searching for evidence related to a recent homicide in the area of 4th Street and the I580 overpass.

SAR Staff and the SVU responded to the end of Pinehaven Dr. to locate and transport two subjects in a stuck vehicle. The subjects had become stuck yesterday afternoon, and spent the night in their vehicle before requesting help. They were located without incident and transported down to staging, then given a ride to a local restaurant so that they could meet friends who would assist in getting their vehicle unstuck.

SAR Staff, Air Squadron, SVU, and WCSAR responded to a staging location in Gerlach to search for three overdue hunters somewhere in the Buffalo Meadows Rd/Painters Flat area. Teams were entering the area from three different routes, while the Air Squadron searched from above. Due to weather and daylight, the Air Squadron had to suspend their searching, but the ground teams continued. Just before darkness, one of the ground teams encountered the subjects, along with two other private vehicles that had been searching since this morning, coming down Buffalo Meadows Rd. The overdue subjects had become stuck in an iced-over section of a road where a spring feeds the area. All subjects were accounted for. SAR teams returned to Gerlach for debrief.
