A Firefighter was airlifted and hospitalised after a fall at the Raton Canyon while trying to reach an injured civilian in treacherous terrain on Thursday evening. 

RATON CANYON - At 21:10 on Thursday, June the 20th 2019, the Los Santos Fire Department were notified of a person who had fallen down a mountainside in the Cassidy Creek at Raton Canyon, the Chiliad State Wilderness. A rescue assignment was dispatched to the scene.

On arrival, after an extensive search of the area, the injured adult male was discovered on a hillside and tended to by emergency services personnel. During the incident, Engineer Mikayla Reed of Engine 2, who was making her way on foot, slipped and fell down the mountainside causing serious injury. Additional resources were dispatched to the scene and a search and rescue operation initiated to locate Reed after she transmitted a mayday. There were reports the injured party may have fallen into the water, and as a result Maritime resources were dispatched.

After some time Engineer Mikayla Reed was located by the Los Santos Police Department's tracking system on a hillside approximately quarter of a mile north east of the Alamo Sea. Life Flight 1, a search and rescue air ambulance, was sent to the scene to perform a hoist operation before Engineer Reed was transported to a trauma center in Los Santos. Reed was reported to be in a stable condition and responsive at the time of passing over to ER crews. The injured civilian was transported by land Ambulance to an area hospital. The situation was concluded shortly there after by 22:16. 

Engineer Reed remains in hospital and is recovering well. We all wish her the best of recoveries and hope to see her back at work soon!
