A harrowing incident at Dodge Park in Sandy on Sunday resulted in a technical rescue operation after a woman experienced a perilous fall. Clackamas fire crews were dispatched just before noon following reports of an individual who had fallen 100 feet down a steep incline at the popular recreation site. According to KOIN, they arrived to find the woman in a situation necessitating immediate rescue efforts.
The rescue was notably complex, demanding the use of a stokes basket and low-angle rope systems to reach the woman, as she had ventured off the trail prompting the fall. Firefighters managed the difficult task within approximately an hour, as reported by KPTV. Arriving on the scene, firefighters were met with terrain that posed a challenge, yet, they found their way to the woman's location urgently.
The woman's injuries, evaluated at the scene by the Clackamas Fire rescue team, appeared not to be life-threatening. Nonetheless, she was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for a complete medical evaluation to ensure her well-being. The firefighters' timely response and specialized rescue techniques likely played a critical role in her survival and potential recovery.
