Earlier yesterday morning, a joint rescue mission unfolded in the rugged terrains of the Sunol Wilderness. Authorities from Cal Fire, Alameda County Fire, East Bay Regional Parks, and the CHP's Golden Gate Division Air Operations, alongside a San Ramon Valley Fire Hazardous Response Team (HRT) member, responded to distress calls concerning two hikers besieged by medical emergencies amidst the natural expanse of the East Bay Parks. The aerial unit, CHP H-30, played a crucial role in the operation.
Lowering the HRT member to the scene, the team executed what's known in the rescue lingo as a "two-up", a precise maneuver designed to evacuate individuals in distress efficiently. The details of the mission, captured and shared by the CHP - Golden Gate Division Air Operations Facebook page, showcased the seamless coordination between the different agencies involved.
The hiker was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
