14:18 paged by Ecomm for ECC for BCAS. ATV rollover near Mt Drew, W of Narrows Inlet. One subject
with broken leg (reported as compound fracture but was simple); one with broken hand.
Party had 3 ATV, 1 rolled (slid down snow), 2 went out to Tzoonie Camp (30 min) for help, two members of
party stayed with injured.
Got ASE from ECC, arranged for Bell 212; reported LZ was good for that and it would carry enough
members and gear.
Air Ambulance sent Sikorsky to site but they could not find an adequate LZ so returned to Vancouver. They
did land briefly at Tzoonie Camp which is relatively close and said they could return if injuries warranted and
helicopter available.
212 could not land close to subjects but could drop team and gear on ridge top above, a bit steep and
rugged to get down to subjects.
Requested 2nd ASE for Bell 206 which could land beside subjects. OKed by RM, Bell 212 released back to
MoF.
Subject with broken leg also had asthma, but no meds with him. Used O2.
Brought both subjects out to Sechelt Airport and transferred to BCAS ambulance at 17:50. Two ferry trips
with 206 to bring out team members and gear.
Ensured rest of ATV party had all joined up before departing, not dressed or equipped for being at snow line
or far in back country.
Stood down at 20:30
