An Air and Marine Operations air crew rescued an injured woman trapped atop Arizona’s Baboquivari Mountains on Monday, June 5, 2023.
Arizona Air Coordination Center received a 911 call from the injured Guatemalan woman, which led the Tucson Air Branch to dispatch a UH-60 Black Hawk air crew to locate the caller. The rugged terrain prevented other responders from accessing her location. A fire, which was started by the caller, was a cause for concern and also contributed to the hoist necessity.
The Rescue Specialist assessed the woman and moved her to a safer location where a lower hoist could be conducted. The woman was successfully extracted from the mountains and transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.
