Hiker & Dog Rescued
Lakeview Terrace
On December 29, 2011, seven fire companies, three helicopters, two rescue ambulances and two USAR teams responded to a hiker incident at 12001 Van Nuys Blvd. in Lakeview Terrace.
First arriving companies observed a male and a German Shepherd dog clinging onto the side of a steep cliff approximately 150’ above the ground. Due to the terrain, a hoist operation by helicopter was not a desirable option. USAR team members using a high angle rescue went over the side and stabilized the male victim and the dog. Both were extracted from the mountainside and no injuries were reported.
