Land and Sea: Rescue Teams Co-Ordinate Hiker Extrication From Juan De Fuca Trail
Marine and land crews reached the hiker quickly and coordinated first aid before rising tides cut off boat access, rescuers said.
- On Thursday , the Juan de Fuca SAR team rescued a hiker near Botanical Beach after the person fell on "slippery coastal rocks," according to an online update.
- Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Unit 37 provided boat access, enabling the initial response team to reach the hiker quickly and deliver first aid while other rescuers arrived on foot.
- With the tide rising, evacuation became urgent before boat access ended; coordinated efforts involved Metchosin SAR, Cowichan SAR, and Emergency Health Services to ensure safe removal.
- The hiker was evacuated safely, with Fuca SAR describing the operation as "a true team effort" and the team "wishing our hiker a smooth recovery."
- Based in Sooke, the volunteer RCMSAR 37 remains on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, matching the readiness standard of land-based search and rescue teams.
