(Boeplo Province, Colorado) – Nearly 25 hours after researching the sharp terrain and brave feeling, the crews succeeded in saving six of the street verafts, including five compulsions, from Mount Greenhurn on Saturday, May 31, according to the PCSO County Office (PCSO).
Along with PCSO Volunteer search and rescue of the emergency services department (SAR), CUSTER COUNTY Search and Rescue joined the search on Friday, May 30, after a call from hikers came around 7:30 pm

After receiving the call, the PCSO volunteer began searching for instant land, working throughout the night on rough terrain, heavy rains, and limited vision. One of the volunteers was injured during the night, but he continued to search until he could no longer continue. At 3:30 pm, it was transferred from the mountain by a national guard helicopter in Colorado and was transferred to the hospital.
