🚒CCFD & DCFR Technical Rope Rescue🐶

Dixie County Fire Rescue units responded yesterday to a unique call involving a dog trapped in a dried up spring/sinkhole. DCFR crews assisted Cross City Fire Department on the their first-ever technical rope rescue operation.

Upon arrival, crews located the dog approximately 40 feet down in a cavern system within the cavern. Recognizing the complexity of the situation, responders carefully assessed the environment and developed a safe and effective rescue plan. Utilizing specialized rope equipment provided by Cross City Fire Department, personnel were able to access the space and safely retrieve the animal.

Thanks to the coordinated efforts and technical precision of all crews on scene, the dog was successfully rescued without injury.

Outstanding work by everyone involved, and a special thank you to Cross City Fire Department for their use and deployment of rope rescue equipment during this operation.

So thankful for all of our flight crews! Strong teamwork truly makes a difference in patient outcomes.🚁🚑
