Paramedic unit W-1 has recently cleared from Auxier Ridge, where we assisted @pocosar2013 with a report of a hiker experiencing weakness, dizziness, numbness in their arms, and an inability to continue hiking; the kind of presentation of signs and symptoms that could be indicative of several serious potential medical problems.

At approximately 12:30 today, we were alerted for a report of a woman who had sustained a leg injury beneath Natural Bridge. First arriving BLS units from Powell County Emergency Medical Services reported that the patient was in pain and unable to sustain weight on the injury, and advised that taking the patient through Fat Man's Squeeze, across the bridge, and down the Sky Lift would be the most expeditious manner of extraction. This ambulance crew included members of the RedSTAR roster and SAR community, experienced in wilderness operations.

Thanks to @lex18news for helping us spread the word about our services and about enjoying the #rrg safely. You can find this story on their website, FB page, and YouTube channel.
