2009 Woodland Search & Rescue Drill

Training Scenario:The victim was on an overnight hunting trip when he stumbled off a small cliff. His injuries prevented him from walking and he remained in the woods overnight during a snow storm. His cell phone made a short 911 call before the battery died. Search & Rescue was sent to the area and the victim was located. He was barely concious and very hypothermic. The explorers worked as a team to stabilize the victim. This included a board and neck collar, placing him in the stokes basket, and carrying him to one of the nearby trails. The off-road rescue gator was on the trail and he was loaded onboard. Explorers with EMT training continued patient care while the gator was driven out of the woods to a waiting ambulance.
