Missing Woman Found Alive

After a long night of searching, BAMRU located and recovered an 84 year old woman in Hillsborough last weekend.

At nearly 1am on Saturday, a BAMRU ground team found the missing woman in a dry creek bed. The BAMRU truck and another search team arrived quickly on scene and provided medical support and supplies. The medical team packaged the patient into a litter and attached it to the low-angle mainline, which had a redirect and 3:1 haul system. Attendants guided the litter and themselves up a relatively steep, unstable grade to a level pathway.

Once the litter reached the path, the litter attendants hand-carried the litter around a switchback and up some stairs to the driveway of the nearby house and then loaded the patient into a waiting ambulance. Sheriff's officers and volunteers cleaned up the scene and returned to command post around 1:45am.
