Prince George Search and Rescue members, less than 24 hours after assisting in the rescue of a missing hiker with Robson Valley Search and Rescue, were called in to rescue an individual in medical distress.
They stated in a social media post that they were dispatched to a steep, remote area of the McGregor Mountains on Aug. 2.
The man was found in severe medical distress and was reported to have been in a “decreased level of consciousness” by Prince George Search and Rescue.
Class 'D' Fixed Line technologies long-lined the subject to Bearpaw Heli-Skiing’s base, where they were transferred to another helicopter and flown to Prince George. On arrival, BCEHS was waiting to take them to the hospital.
Prince George Search and Rescue thanked Yellowhead Helicopters for bringing machines and pilots to assist with the rescue and Bearpaw Heli-Skiing for use of its staging area.
