76-Year-Old Male With Chest Pain. At 1347 hours the Team was called to assist a 76-year-old male at Greenstone Lake experiencing chest pain. Rescue base was established at Saddlebag Lake Resort. Rescue operations requested resources, including CHP helicopter H42, the Team’s inflatable rescue boat, and Mono County Paramedics to stage at the resort.

While the primary rescue units from Mammoth/South County were responding, a nearby team member arrived at the staging area, and coordinated assistance from Saddlebag Lake Resort to be ferried across the lake. The team member located the patient and with assistance from bystanders helped the subject down from Greenstone Lake.

The subject was assessed and ferried back across the lake on the resort boat. Upon arrival at the boat launch, all rescue units had just completed staging. Patient care was transferred to Medic 2, and alternate air transport options were explored after inclement weather forced CHP H42 to turn around. The call was terminated at 1548 hours.
