    The Rocky Mountain Rescue Group was established in 1947 and is the second oldest rescue group in the United States. As an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, they are dispatched through 911 and conducted 188 rescues/searches in 2015 using specialized rescue equipment. Some important lessons learned from mountain rescues are to remain calm, move slowly to work efficiently, increase safety precautions, and avoid assuming risk is over until reaching the hospital.

    • It’s not your emergency. “I’m going home tonight”

    • Calm and quiet

    • Slow down to speed up

    • Increase your safety factor (like guiding)

    • Helicopters are the #1 cause of rescuer/patient


    injury/death

    • Remind seriously injured patients that they are not


    out of danger until they get to the hospital.
