The MFD Heavy Urban Rescue Team was called to the Town of Dunn earlier this week for a man who fell 10-15 feet down a cliffside.

Stoughton EMS and Fire was dispatched at 7:16 PM and activated HURT while en route. Contact with the victim was established by crews utilizing ground ladders, watercraft, and on-foot access through shallow water. The rescue operation was carried out by deploying a 24-foot ladder alongside the individual and lowering a stokes basket via a rope system.

Building on trust and familiarity established during recent joint rope rescue training and prior collaborations, the teams coordinated seamlessly to execute a safe and efficient rescue! The man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. More details are available at MadisonFire.org.
