Motor Vehicle Incidents topped September’s Central Cariboo Search & Rescue call outs

Central Cariboo Search and Rescue (CCSR) members were kept busy in September.

The Auto Extrication Team responded to 9 Motor Vehicle Incidents, some which were highly intensive requiring specialized techniques and Embankment Rope Rescue.

Last month CCSR was also tasked out to 8 Land Search and Rescue missions.

Those included rescues of individuals in the back country, lost and overdue persons, lake searches, mutual aid for swift water rescue and assisting with evacuation orders.

Central Cariboo Search and Rescue also attended a complex call where both their Auto Extrication and Land Search and Rescue teams worked together.

They safely rescued individuals from a vehicle teetering on the edge of a very steep embankment.

CCSR said with support from RCMP and BC Emergency Health Services, the incident was resolved without injury.
