PCSAR responded to a call for a hiker who slipped over a creek bank on Whittleton Arch trail and injured her ankle. The area was very muddy and part of the trail had slipped off the side of the hill, making the trail difficult to hike on. Powell County Emergency Medical Services reached the patient first and began treating the hiker. PCSAR AND Red STAR Wilderness EMS sent in responders with additional equipment and supplies to carry the hiker out of the woods. Lee County Search & Rescue and Middle Fork fire dept. Responded with additional manpower for the carryout. The patient was packaged and brought to the waiting ambulance for transport to the hospital.
