Today members of DFR Urban Search and Rescue Team (USAR) were dispatched to a call in which a man needed help but was unreachable by standard means near a steep embankment.
The man was homeless and believed to be under the influence of an unknown intoxicant. The USAR team was called. When they arrived, they secured the patient into a Stokes basket and used a rope system to raise him to street level, where an ambulance was waiting. He was uninjured but taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
Great job, y’all! 👏🚒🚨
