Central Arizona Mountain Rescue Association

On Saturday, Mountain Rescue participated in their first training of the year, steep angle operations. Thanks to for joining in on the fun. It’s always a honor to work and collaborate with teams around the valley! While training the team was notified of an individual who suffered a knee injury on the trail adjacent to the training area. Mountain Rescue treated their injury and performed a litter carry to the individuals vehicle.

Last week, Mountain Rescue team members and aviation conducted vertical surface hoist rescue training. This training is highly technical and conducted multiple times a year to ensure competency in this low frequency, higher risk technique.
