5 search and rescue teams, RCMP find stranded person in canyon above Penticton
The search began on Oct. 10, after Penticton RCMP asked Penticton Search and Rescue (PENSAR) to find an individual missing in the Carmi Recreation Forest area. As daylight faded and temperatures dropped, mutual aid was requested from Oliver Osoyoos Search and Rescue (OOSAR) and Central Okanagan Search and Rescue. Two canine teams from the RCMP and OOSAR, along with reinforcements from Princeton Ground Search and Rescue and Thompson Nicola Search and Rescue, supported the search. At about 11:45 a.m. on Oct. 11, the RCMP’s helicopter team found the individual. The stranded individual was finally rescued at 1 p.m. and placed in the care of B.C. Emergency Health Services.
The individual was found and rescued by helicopter on Oct. 11.
