The hiker, a Sedona resident, was hiking with friends when the accident occurred. “Due to the rugged terrain and inaccessibility of the patient, the best way to get them off of the rock was by helicopter,” said Battalion Chief Jordan Baker, “These types of operations are extremely high risk, but sometimes that is the only option available.”

    Two helicopters from Arizona Department of Public Safety were utilized during the rescue. “Ranger 56 extracted the injured hiker from the summit and Ranger 58 transported the injured party to Flagstaff Medical Center,” said Baker. Due to the time it takes to configure a helicopter for rescue and then reconfigure for patient transport, it is sometimes advantageous to utilize two helicopters. Fire department personnel initially hiked up to the patient while the aircraft were responding to the scene and began treating the patient for their injuries.

    Many of the hikes around Sedona can be very challenging. SFD wants to remind everyone that the best way to make sure that your hike ends safely is to prepare beforehand. When preparing for a hike always make sure to:

    • Bring plenty of water
    • Wear proper hiking boot/shoes and attire
    • Use sunscreen and a hat to protect you from the elements
    • Always tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return
    • Make sure your cell phone is charged and take it with you
    • Hike with a buddy
    • Watch your step – especially in rugged terrain

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
