The injured subject’s location was just north of the Hot Springs ruins and in the creek bed. After locating the subject following a short search, Montecito Fire paramedics assessed the condition of the subject and carryout was initiated to the fire road by SAR and Montecito Fire personnel.
The subject and medic were loaded into an SBCSAR high clearance vehicle for evacuation out to the awaiting AMR ambulance for transport to a local hospital.
