January 8, 2024 - Nevada County Sheriff's Search & Rescue officials report that earlier on Saturday at 3:28 p.m. SAR was requested for a lost snowshoer somewhere near the Pacific Crest Trail on Donner Summit. 16 SAR members responded and skied into the back country to search for the missing person.
The Nordic team located the snowshoer approximately 2 miles from where his adventure started, although wet and cold the MISSING person was located and returned, warmed up given some food and water before being transported back to his vehicle.
We recently were awarded a grant from Truckee Tahoe Airport District for an incident command vehicle which has been deployed twice this week since being put into service in Truckee last Saturday allowing a much quicker response and we like to think saving lives quicker and more efficiently. We can’t thank the community enough for all the support in our mission.
#24/7/365 so others may live
