 Yesterday we were launched under the assumption that there were seven people trapped on one side of a landslide and we were going to transport them to the other side to safety. When we actually got to a small airport called Strom in the town of Morton to pick up a sheriff's deputy he actually informed us that there were seven separate sites each of which had multiple people that needed rescuing. So it was getting dark the weather was moving in and of course we always had a field to consider so we went to we had him prioritized and went to the most critical of the sites picked up two people who were the flight mechanics spotted them they were on an island their house had become an island surrounded by some roiling raging water so we just hoisted them to safety and brought them back to the airport. I would say that the most difficult part was actually the transit to and from the location with weather moving in the winds kicking up and there are a lot of uncharted power lines and towers along the route so we had to take it pretty slow to stay safe in route to the location. The hoist itself wasn't easy it was in a narrow canyon with winds gusting in there a lot of clouds and low visibility and we had to hoist for about 120 feet because of the trees. Two people were in a boat yes very small like I don't know if it was aluminum or what or wood at a small outboard engine they were sitting in this boat and the boat itself was inside what looked to be like a shack maybe a horse corral. Anyway three sides in a roof so they were inside that in a boat and water the main river channel on one side that was you know brown and rough and all kinds of debris and obviously overflow in its banks and the overflowing water around the other side so they were completely surrounded on this small island of land by water five feet of snow where we set our rescue swimmer down on that land he walked into the shack saw them in the boat pull them out one at a time to a safe area clear of trees because it's a heavily wooded area where we could get the basket down and hoist them up. The toughest part was when we were getting starting to get low on fuel and it night had fallen so we had some added things to consider as far as risk versus gain we knew we had people who needed us but with our fuel state and with the weather knowing that we needed to return to get gas and to rest because of our first responsibilities to the safety of our crew and not necessarily to those we're attempting to rescue. That's a tough decision every time and that was hard and it was it was really the first time I had been operational and had to be involved in that discussion and it was it was as hard as I figured it was gonna be because we knew people were down there we want we came out to help and we we couldn't do it anymore we had to go home those people were in dire straits and I was glad to be there for them the two people we got
