COSAR and PENSAR have a busy Sunday

Both Central Okanagan and Penticton Search and Rescue crews were kept busy on Sunday.

At noon, COSAR requested PENSAR’s assistance to evacuate an injured snowmobiler in the Graystokes Park area.

While PENSAR’s helicopter team was packaging up the injured subject, they were alerted to another call that had just come in.

The second call was from just north of the first call and once again required the helicopter team to conduct another medical evacuation of an injured snowmobiler.

Once the first subject was transported to an ambulance, the PENSAR helicopter team flew over to Mission Lake where they found the second injured snowmobiler.

The injured subject was evacuated by helicopter to Kelowna International Airport, where an ambulance was waiting.

While all this was going on, PENSAR was also called to the Carmi area around 3:30 p.m. to assist in another rescue.

This time, it was three trucks and 11 PENSAR personnel responding to a man who had fallen into a building foundation.
