Multiple Hoist Rescues Keep Rescue Crews Busy over the Labor Day Weekend

While most were out celebrating the Labor Day Weekend, the crews at San Bernardino County Fire spent the weekend responding to multiple hoist rescues in the Deep Creek and Forest Falls areas.

Our staff videographer Bryan Keenan was at the scene of a hoist rescue at Aztec Falls.

All visitors should use caution when hiking these areas or jumping off the cliffs.
