🚨 ATV Rescue in Johnson Creek Area 🚨

Shortly after 4:00 PM, Mohawk Valley Fire responded to an ATV rollover on BLM land. The patient was unaware of their presence location and dealing with spotty cell service, making it impossible to keep them on the phone.

Our crews immediately launched a ground search starting from the patient's home, tracking intermittent cell pings. Life Flight was requested due to the possible nature of the injuries and assisted with an aerial search before needing to depart for refueling. With the Life Flight helicopter in the air drone operations were unable to be used.

Utilizing command vehicles, side-by-sides, and responders on foot, our teams successfully located the patient.

She was safely extracted and transferred to a waiting ambulance for transport to the hospital.

Lane County Search and Rescue was requested but later stood down when the patient was located.

Great work by all crews under challenging conditions, and we wish the patient a speedy recovery! 🙏🚒
