- This was a complex rescue requiring hoisting at 7800 feet in very close proximity to a rock, and at night. A rock climber fell and hurt his ankle, which ended up being a very bad sprain. He called 911 and we were dispatched to the location. 
They invented the saying “leave it for the professionals”. They are so calm and cool. Great job 👍👍
This channel will blow up. Im calling it now.
Thank you. Someone else said the same a couple videos ago. I just do this as sort of an unofficial unit page to document our rescues so the public can see the good work we are doing. We are actually going to be involved in a reality show, like cops. Lionsgate media approached us and we are approved to have cameras, much like mine, placed in the helicopter and video them. Probably much more dramatic than I make them though!
@@Hook-in-hand Hope they don't limit you and your filming for this channel, I can only imagine them saying no to any other cameras in the helo and or on the rescuers.
I really like that you incorporate the audio from the headphones. Really makes us feel involved. Thank you.
@@Hook-in-hand we always hear about these rescues, and it’s great to now be able to watch them and the process that goes into it. Incredible work, but please don’t let reality TV take away the authenticity. Don’t let them create fake scenarios.
@@theclassicliberal1915 thank you for that. I appreciate the support! Everything has to be reviewed by our Sheriff before it goes to print. I think some of the calls we go on can already be pretty dramatic, so there shouldn’t be a need to make it anymore so. they said this thing will not go to Air until sometime next year anyways. Until then, stay tuned here!
Please more conent, this stuff is so awesome to see. The professionalism, the skills, its all mind blowing!
I love all the real-time radio traffic! This channel is amazing.
I actually witnessed your Palm Springs rescue of the hiker while I was working at the base of the mountain , you guys are awesome
When you are giving distances as "a disk and a half" does that mean 1.5 times the width of the main rotor diameter? If so, dang that is CLOSE to those rocks! Love hearing the back and forth communications.
Yes, that's exactly what that means.
Hi thanks, that is correct.
Another great video and rescue. Those SpaceX launches never get old
Another great video! Beautiful scenery!
You guys should do a Q&A video with front and back seaters.
Hi thanks! The closest thing we have to that is an episode of The Real RESQ podcast. Some of us were interviewed about some recent rescues. I think it came out last December. "Riverside County Sheriff."
Thank you for sharing, what SAR does is incredible!
Very cool. The thing trailing the spacex launch is the lower stage and eventually the fairings.
Amazing comunication.
Curious, did you know the patient? Just wondering cuz when he asks if hes gonna have to get in the screamer vest or use his harness and you say “if you were a random but i trust you know what youre doing”?
Yes, we know them very well! They are professional rescue volunteers. So, even the pros get hurt!
My favorite channel!
These videos are amazing, great work guys! Do you have infrared/thermal imaging equipped on the helicopter to locate the victims?
amazing video! our unit has been same training on ARS like you. and our helicopter has two EMTs, each serving as a rescuer and operator.
The times you are grateful for medical insurance.
Yo peep the space x launch at the end!
This is my home peak! I live at the bottom of the hill. I’m curious though…is the rescued person responsible for the cost of this? How much would that be?
Awesome stuff. Thanks for posting.
What's the pipeline like for SAR crew. Where do you start?
That's a good question! I am curious as well
Hi, thanks for the question and thanks for watching. This is the greatest job in the world and I never get tired of helping people try to get here just like I did. To become a pilot in our unit as well as any air crew member in our unit, you have to be a sworn, deputy sheriff with two years of patrol experience minimum. To become a rescue specialist, the same thing applies. You just have to respond to the memorandum of interest. We then bring the individuals in for an interview with some scenario based questions to see how they think, we look at their performance history also. We only want high functioning Individuals that require minimal supervision and are self starters. After the interview, we invite those that make it to a practical skills evaluation. We basically put them through some orientation of all of our rescue equipment and we have them demonstrate how they would utilize it on a victim, just to see how, their aptitude for learning the job is. You do not have to be an EMT or a paramedic beforehand, but of course that is highly desired on our part so that we can get that person into the operational pipeline as soon as possible. We send our guys to paramedic school and attend full-time, and that’s their job with the department until they come back and get rotated into the program. we also then send them to the LA county sheriffs mountaineering course that is six weeks long. They also attend advanced mountain rope skills training our guys go through a lot of training before they are turned loose. This is why I became a cop in Southern California, so that I can one day fly helicopters and I absolutely love it.
@@Hook-in-hand I appreciate the detailed response, thank you very much! There is much to consider for my future and I'm glad you are in love with your job, it sounds immensely rewarding.
Helicopter rescue for a sprained ancle at the base? Good thing they blurred his face.
It's thought processes like yours that get people more injured. It's so much better to call for help when you realize that you might be in danger than when you're in serious, life threatening danger. Imagine his sprain got worse, or he collapsed and broke something else. Now the rescue is even more dangerous and causes more stress for all parties involved. Everyone screws up, its just a matter of taking prep to try to prevent it.
@@IKEASoderhamnSectional4-seat Imagine that helicopter crashed because two able bodied guys couldn't help their buddy limp down to the parking lot.
Looks like they'd used ropes to get to that point so no telling how technical or possible getting out the rest of the way would have been. A technical extraction with someone who can't put weight on one foot risks additional injuries/casualties. The injured person also said in the video he couldn't feel his foot. Not easy to tell if it's a sprain vs fracture (and the ability to wiggle his toes is not definitive proof in either direction).
@@fredfredrickson6468Do you have brain damage?
No, but I have hiked up AND down that trail from Humber Park and Tahquitz hundreds of times.@@anthonydomench6871
Is that the D3? Performance seems pretty good
It's actually the D2. The D3 has 330 more lbs of useful load! They are both a beast.
Do you know what route the accident occurred on?
Kind of sucks these guys have to risk their lives to save a thrill seeker
Why does it suck exactly?? They do their job voluntarily and obviously don’t care about why the victim is injured. Would you say the same thing about cops on a high speed chase?
@@anthonydomench6871 great analogy....lol
@@JohnDoe-xu2vx Exactly.
@@anthonydomench6871 You really believe your own BS dont you
@@JohnDoe-xu2vx Everyone believes their own bs. That’s a universal truth.
