8.00 KSAR is called out to search for a missing kayaker in the Thompson River (DG)
KSAR has been tasked out today to continue the search for the man who was swept away in the North Thompson River on July 12. If you see KSAR searchers in or around the river today, please give us space to work, and If possible avoid the area.
Thank you (DG)
KSAR was called out for two back-to-back tasks yesterday.
🔴Just after 16.00 a request came in for Rope Team Leaders to support Nicola Valley Search and Rescue to rescue a missing elderly male that had fallen down an embankment at Spius Creek. Subject had been missing for several days and had a broken hip and back injuries. Medevac was able to land on a sandbar in the river and he was transported. When the team was on the way back another call came in.
🔴Around 20.00 KSAR was tasked as mutual aid to support Nicola Valley Search and Rescue with an ATV rollover north of Nicola Lake. KSAR members assisted Nicola Valley Search and Rescue with the injured ATVers. They were handed off to BCEHS. (DG)
