We asked the pizza delivery man if he would deliver dinner to our rescuers that had been 500 feet over the side of Malibu Canyon for over 5 hours, but he said he forgot his harness.

"I've just been in a traffic collision! What do I do?"
“I’ve just been in a traffic accident! What do I do??”
1. If anybody is injured, call 911.
2. If you are able to, take a cellphone picture of the rear-end of the other party’s vehicle to capture the license plate and make/model —just in case they take off from the accident.
3. If it is safe to do so and the vehicles are able to move, pull off to the side of the roadway so as to not block traffic.
4. If there are no injuries, but a hit-and-run occurred, or any driver is unlicensed, call the station at (661)260-4000 to request a deputy to respond.
5. If there are no injuries and all parties have a driver’s license, then exchange information. Use your cellphone to take a picture of the driver’s license, registration, and insurance information. Try to get the other driver’s telephone number so that the insurance company can contact them (this is not legally required but convenient).
Stay safe, drive safe SCV! 🚗 🚙

Determination
Good morning.
Monday morning and the barn is open.
Happy Birthday Nico!
It's still hot out there.
It's that time of the year.
Very simple advice. Triple digit temps are on tap for the greater for the foreseeable future. Do not hike unless it’s very early in the morning. We strongly urge you to avoid hiking during daytime (excessive heat) or evening (heat and darkness) hours. Know your limits and fitness level. Dress appropriately and carry more hydration than you think you need. Dehydration happens very quickly. DO NOT HIKE AT ALL WITH DOGS IN THIS WEATHER. Dogs deteriorate much quicker than humans, and the signs of their dehydration and distress often go overlooked. Leave your 4-legged buddy at home so they will be there to greet you when you return. .

It’s beginning to look a lot like… WINTER! Multiple snow and ice rescues occurred over the weekend in Los Angeles County. Rescue teams and Air Rescue 5 saved multiple victims who had slipped hundreds of feet down icy slopes. Amazingly everyone survived. Roads are icy and snowy slopes are frozen rock hard. “ADD” the proper gear to your list for your next ADDventure!!! Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
HIKE TO COMMEMORATE. 30 years ago a woman and young boy were lost in a snowstorm on Mount Baldy for two nights and three days. After being rescued by LASD search and rescue teams, Cindy E. decided to join the teams. Rescuee became rescuer. Last Friday the LASD - Montrose Search and Rescue Team hiked with teammate Cindy to the top of that fateful mountain to celebrate her rescue that many years ago. Cindy has now participated in hundreds of lifesaving missions. We celebrate her and her will to survive.
