SUMMARY:
On December 27, 2020, Sheriff’s Aviation personnel assisted Twin Peaks personnel with a search and rescue in the Green Valley area. Helicopter 40King4 responded and conducted a search for Charles Schroeder, who became lost while hiking in the area. The crew located him stuck on the side of a hill and attempted to guide Schroeder to the trail, but he was unable to walk himself to safety.
Due to the terrain and impending darkness, 40King4 personnel determined a hoist rescue was necessary and requested Sheriff’s Aviation Rescue personnel (40King3). 40K3 arrived at the location and lowered a medic down to Schroeder and the medic assisted with placing him in a rescue harness. Schroeder was hoisted up to the helicopter and transported to a local school where Twin Peak deputies and San Bernardino County Fire personnel were waiting. Schroeder was evaluated and treated by Fire personnel. 40King3 responded back to the hoist location, picked up their medic.
