SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and RAVEN teamed with REMSA, TMFPD, and NLTFPD to rescue an injured paraglider that crashed below the Slide Mountain/Winter’s Creek Lodge parking lot. The subject was stabilized by fire medics, packaged by Hasty team and fire personnel, then hoisted by RAVEN. He was then flown a short distance to the ski area parking lot and transferred to a REMSA ambulance.

5/9/20 – Pinehaven Lost Family

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and the SVU responded to the Pinehaven entrance to Hunter Lake to search for three lost family members – a mother and two children. The father had become separated from the rest of them during their hike out after camping overnight. The father flagged down a passing 4×4, who allowed him to use their phone to call 911. As teams were searching the area where the father said he saw them last, the mother called 911, enabling a ping location to be generated. Teams accessed the area, located the subjects, and transported them to staging.
