Hiker Rescue - Capture Operation 08/04/2024 INC#0596

Hiker Rescue - Capture Operation; INC#0596; 10:46AM; 20825 Entrada Rd; https://bit.ly/3LWH5U0; Pacific Palisades; LAFD Air Operations located the uninjured, lost male hiker and is conducting a 'capture' operation. Due to the precarious location of the hiker, it is safer to conduct a capture (the rescuer is lowered and safely attaches the hiker) versus a standard hoist operation. Air Ops will then transport the patient to a helispot to meet ground based firefighters so they can assist the hiker in returning to his transport. 9-1-1 call received at 10:17AM. No further details.; FS 23; Batt 9; West Bureau; Council District 11; AO1 AO2 BC17 E23 E269 H4 H6 HA4 HA6 RA23 RH114 T69; CH7; 13; Margaret Stewart
