We’re incredibly proud of our team and the amazing partners who helped us with a challenging rescue on the Grand Mesa.
On Monday, September 1st, Delta County Search and Rescue (DelSAR) was activated by the Delta County Sheriff's Office to help a hiker in their mid-sixties who had fallen approximately 40 feet near Crag Crest. Due to the difficult and steep terrain, our team had to work quickly to stabilize and extricate the injured hiker.
This successful rescue was a testament to the seamless cooperation between multiple agencies. We couldn't have done it without the critical assistance of:
* High-Altitude Army National Guard Aviation Training Site (HAATS)
* Mesa County Search and Rescue
* Delta County Ambulance District
* Cedaredge Fire Department
* Care Flight of the Rockies
"This was a challenging rescue in difficult terrain, and I couldn’t be prouder of the team and our partners," said Commander Eric Stirnkorb. "The seamless collaboration between all agencies involved was the key to a successful outcome."
Thank you to everyone involved for your dedication and teamwork. It’s what makes our community safe!
