A busy day for BC South crews responding to various calls throughout the valley, including a small brush fire caused by a trailer losing a wheel. Thankfully, crews were able to quickly bring the fire under control before it spread further.

A big thank you to Carey Rural Fire and Rescue for their assistance and partnership in helping keep our community safe.

BC South and Ketchum Fire Department firefighters/EMS have returned from a successful humanitarian mission to a rural hospital in Itigi, Tanzania. Over one week they treated patients, taught nursing students, did peer training with doctors and nurses, taught community first aid, and collaborated with the hospital on future lifesaving programs.

The week included moments of tragedy and bravery as the team helped with critical emergency room patients, including pediatric trauma patients and out-of-hospital premature births.

The team will return to Tanzania in October to implement a grassroots first responder program to improve survival rates for emergency patients.

We are incredibly proud of our local heroes and grateful for their dedication in sharing their lifesaving skills with the world.

If you’re interested in supporting their mission you can donate through: blainecountyemsoutreach.org

Horseback Riding Rescue on Camp Creek Rd – 6/8/26

Yesterday, 6/8/26, BC South, with assistance from the Life Flight Network, rescued a female patient who suffered a hip injury after falling from her horse. The incident occurred past Richardson Summit on Camp Creek Rd.

Due to the nature of the injury and location, the patient was transported by helicopter to an area hospital. BC South personnel were also able to safely transport the patient’s dog back to the trailhead by truck.

At the time of this post, the patient’s horse is still at large.

BC South would like to thank the off-duty responders who came in to assist, as well as the Life Flight crew, for their teamwork and support during the incident.

We are wishing the patient a full and speedy recovery and hope her horse is found safely soon.

Dog Rescue Success – 6/4/26

Yesterday, BC South members successfully rescued a dog that had become trapped inside a culvert. After being missing for two days, the dog was located by the dog’s owners and crews quickly went to work to bring it to safety.

A special shoutout goes to Firefighter Horan, who went above and beyond by climbing head and torso first into the culvert to secure webbing to the dog, allowing crews to safely pull it to safety.

Thanks to the teamwork and dedication of our members, this rescue had a happy ending. We’re glad this dog is back where it belongs!
