It was recently revealed in a statement that several members from both the Terrace and Prince Rupert Search and Rescue crews teamed up on a case.

They sprang into action after BC Emergency Health Services let them know that two hunters near Lachmach Lake needing rescuing after one of them fell a great distance and suffered injuries on their lower limbs.

The pair were stuck in very remote and rugged terrain, but thanks to their decision to bring a recently purchased inReach SOS satellite communications device, that made all the difference for their rescuers.

Prince Rupert’s Search and Rescue Team are also using this case as a reminder to BC’s outdoor enthusiasts to be careful when traversing the great outdoors.
