At 1805 hours the Team was called to assist a 15-year-old male subject with reported symptoms of appendicitis at a location near Lane Lake and Roosevelt Lake. While the Team was on the way to the staging area at the Leavitt Meadows Campground, contact was made with a Nevada Division of Forestry helicopter that was working on fire suppression out of Bryant Field Airport in Bridgeport. This resource had just been released from fire duties, had hoist capabilities, and was available to assist.

The NDF helo arrived at the location just as the Team was staging at Leavitt Meadows, and was able to extract the subject, and deliver him to Mono County EMS staged at the Sonora Junction Caltrans station. The operation was terminated at 1936 hours.
