- The crew from Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, search and rescue helicopter, Rescue 9, stands ready for these upcoming hot summer months. Remember when you hike, take plenty of water have a plan and constantly reassess your energy level, keeping in mind you have to go back. 
REAL LIFE SUPER HEROES 😣😣😣😣👍👍👍👏👏👏I HOPE BOTH OF THEM ARE FINE AND RECOVERING WELL, I WILL PRAY FOR BOTH OF THEM 😣😣😣😣👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
“Take in the view” My kind of rescuer!!!! Instant subscriber 😍😂
Thank you! Willie is a great guy.
Thank You Riverside County Sherrifs Department For All You Do.
I discovered this channel a couple of weeks ago when it came up on my feed. As an avid hiker and backpacker, I really appreciate Rescue 9 and all the Sheriff and SAR units out there, though I hope I never need to call for one. It would be nice if a brief description was included to get a better understanding of what triggered the need for a rescue.
This was a call for rescue due to two hikers who ran out of water. They were at least 4 hours away from the trail head.
@@Hook-in-hand Thank you for your service! Just a brief summary on each new video would be nice, to give context to the rescue.
Once you are out in the back country. The moment you say to yourself "I think I am in trouble....." You are already past trouble and you need to affect self-rescue, in whatever means you have. Thankfully these ladies had cell service or a beacon. I have been on the receiving end of (2) ambu rides before due to back issues. I have never felt so embarrassed, in my life......those medics though, just like these air rescue crew. They know how to identify with a person and deescalate the patient/victim from internalizing what is going on and break the trauma thought process. The "Take in the view!!" was just that. He was breaking that destructive thought process that was escalating in her mind. Riverside County Deputies are awesome.
Wow! Did they have water? Not good to do that without being fully equipped! Great flying pilot, steady & strong! Keep up your great work. ❤ from me in South Africa 🇿🇦
Super cool to see. First this has come up on my feed.. makes me 3,361st-ish subscriber!! The calls will keep coming and I hope the videos do to. Thanks for all you guys do! ❤️
Haha love the humor. Keep up the awesome content
Great job everyone 👍👍
Keep it up big bros!
Fairly regular occurrence for the area. Hikers are inexperienced and ill equipped. Another good job by RSD.
Not sure what they were trying to prove. Thought maybe they were taking pics of wildlife but I did not see a camera. Seems like a risky journey to get a few cell phone pictures. How far away was their car?
They were about 6 hours into the hike.
@@Hook-in-hand Thanks.
Is that the H145? I love that aircraft. I fly it all of the time in MSFS (Microsoft Flight Simulator) would be awesome to pilot that aircraft one day. Love you guys! ❤❤
Yes it is, the D2 version.
That is one steady high hover!! Or, is there a GPS and altitude hold? Not drifting a hover at altitude is an art! Thanks for the FPV's... Great communications between the team too! P.S. I hope they have good insurance or lots of $$ in the bank... These rescues are not cheap!
Hi thank you. Yes in the H145 there is a GPS based hover hold and we use it mostly since we have to hoist about 150', and when you have no reference next to you, only straight down, it takes a monumentally good pilot to not drift at least a couple feet!
@@Hook-in-hand Especially with the rolling hills and scrub; everything is the same color and you can loose situational awareness pretty easily. Thank goodness for technology, making the job just a little easier so you all can focus on the task at hand.
Wilmer P. Stoneburner on the line.
Doing great work folks. Wonder if they were lost or just exhausted.
At 2:08 it sounds like he says "who's the one who's not feeling so good?" and the woman points to herself. So, I'm guessing they were at the onset of some medical emergency (heat stroke / dehydration / etc)
Yes, in cases like this, they were out of water and dizzy. Six miles into the hike with at least 4 more hours to go at best to get back. Sometimes we have do the math and make the decision for them based on the circumstances. Better to call it a day based on their ages, heat, and the fact that they called for a reason. Sometimes people just feel overwhelmed by the massive response of a helicopter having to come rescue them. Some people feel guilty and feel that it is just way too much for their situation. One of them even said, “can you just give us some water and let us finish?“ I wish it were that simple.
@@Hook-in-hand "yeah, we'll just send a helicopter out to bring the water you forgot"
@@Hook-in-hand ResQ 9 goes over my house at least once a day. These ladies weren't out in the deep back woods, but the Santa Rosa mountains are no place for walking in May without a LOT of water.
In other words, they’ll take bigger wrists, thinking they can always call and get help… And put first responders in danger
I can't tell if these are on both rear sides of the skids or just on the hoist side, but what are those things that either look like small "horns" or lights? Just curious.. Don't recall seeing them before on our StarFlight helicopters here in Austin, Texas.. Thanks.. And again, great video!
Those sound like the scene lights. Two powerful lights that light up the work space of the rescue specialist on the ground at night.
Awesome rescue..
How did they request help? Is there cell phone coverage in that area? Way back when I used to hike I got a amatuer radio license and bought a 2M HT for the purpose of emergency communication in remote areas. How often do you guys get a request for rescue that way?
PSA: most newer iPhone models can send pre-written emergency text via satellite connection. It’s done through the normal process of holding the combination of side buttons to initiate an emergency call.
I think nowadays with cell phones… It gives everyone a false security
I'm curious; why the hoist op? Terrain looks suitable for a one-skid landing...less exposure to all involved.
Hi thank you. Hoist op is actually much more predictable and safer. The terrain in this case was not suitble for landing or one-skid. The video can be deceiving. The issue with a one-skid in our helicopter is the tremendous downwash of the main rotor. We prefer to hoist and properly brief up the patient beforehand. A one-skid has the potential for a patient slipping and we cannot 100% control them onboarding. We will do one-skids with our personnel where appropriate because they have the training and repetition to know what to expect and how/where to step and so forth. That's certainly not the only way to do things, just our thinking and risk mitigation.
@@Hook-in-hand Ah gotcha, thank you for your rapid response! Back in the late 80's I flew N Model UH-1's (Bell 212) for MCAS Yuma SAR. At the time we were the only hoist equipped helo in the state, as such we had opportunity to operate in a broad spectrum of locales/terrain. Though I loved a good technical hoist or shorthaul, we typically only used those means of extraction as a last resort. Now I know more than once my decision disappointed our fearless Navy Corpsmen; they took it personal when I robbed them of a rappel or a chance to "surf the Stokes"! Thanks for what you do...I miss it!
How do you become a crew member for this specific unit?
Hi thank you! All of the crew are selected from experienced deputy sheriffs on patrol or special teams. So one has to become a deputy first and have at least 4 years patrol experience, pass an interview with scenario questions, then score high on a practical flying evaluation.
That was what a $$$ 25,000 rescue looks like
Actually, our helicopter has a total operating cost, including fuel and wages, of $1, 080/hr. This took just over an hour to do. Thanks for watching!
Just curious. It appears everything is attached to that one piece of blue aluminum? Two people at one point with all the weight focused on the top piece that's connected the hook. No redundancy?
I know it seems crazy right? It’s rated for over 650 pounds. It’s a good piece of gear, we trust it.

another day in the front off filling client orders. 🇺🇸
Another set of dumb moves, Its really hot, we are not young and spry .....lets hike a bad trail and see what happens
Am very glad they called for help. Thanks be to our merciful almighty triune God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ our Savior, and the Holy Spirit that they're alright, and thanks be to God for making these rescuers to be strong enough and smart enough to learn and train to do things like this.
At 2:10 & 6:21. I have played this a few times to see if these two ladies had day packs?
And it does not seem that they had. Or did I miss them?
No water, minimum 3 litres + per person, = 6 lbs, as per conditions for a day hike .
No rations, no extra clothing for over nighting if caught out. No First Aid Kit.
No Maps, Compass, Nav gear? Walking Poles. Head torches etc?
And your own backup system! Your route on a map. Time out, time back.
This is left with someone who can help as per the above. But at least they had a Cell Phone.
This is really not clever.
The mountains are full of dead humans some even well equipped. So why push you luck.
Kind regards, and Greetings from Africa.
They will be financially ruined now.
Not at all. No charge.
says you?
This was not an air ambulance. This was Sheriff Dept. Air Rescue. This is what taxes pay for, for right or wrong.
In California you are billed for the cost of search and rescue. It’s state law.
@@gregorybirchfield4952 that’s something I have never known to be true. Could you help me with the section and which code that is under? I would not want to break the law.
