CVSAR aid hiker in medical distress
On the evening of July 5, Columbia Valley Search and Rescue (CVSAR) was tasked for a hiker in medical distress in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park.
With the help of Glacier Helicopters Invermere, a team located the subject and landed nearby where they could hike to the location and provide first aid.
After assessment and treatment the subject was flown out and transferred to Alberta Health Services for further medical aid. CVSAR reported on social media.
“When heading out on an adventure it’s a great idea to carry an emergency communications device such as a InReach in case of emergency. This is just one of the ten essentials that you should take on your next adventure to deal with the unexpected.”
