| Summary |
In June 2015, the California Highway patrol received an urgent call for help. A 17-year-old boy had fallen down a steep waterfall while hiking. Highway patrol officers raced to the scene in a rescue helicopter. The chopper hovered near the waterfall while the flight crew lowered and officer down to the boy. Would they be able to lift the boy to safety? Look inside to learn how highway patrol officers stay calm, think quickly, and act fast to address serious situations in which people or animal are lost or in danger. Go behind the scenes to see how these everyday heroes train for a wide variety of emergency rescues, so that they are ready to help day or night. |
