Smokejumper Rescued During Training Exercise At Yellowstone National Park
On Monday, a smokejumper, who works for the Custer Gallatin National Forest, sustained a leg injury and had to be rescued by Gallatin County Search and Rescue and other volunteers during a training exercise at Yellowstone National Park.
Strong winds from an incoming thunderstorm caused one of the jumpers to be blown off course, resulting in a hard landing in a densely wooded area nearly a mile within the west boundary of Yellowstone National Park, approximately seven miles north of West Yellowstone. Read more here
Great work to GCSAR and other volunteers for getting the smokejumper back to safety, as we wish the individual a speedy recovery on their leg. As always, please be safe out there, everyone!
