On the morning of Monday, July 26, the Technical Rescue Team was asked to assist New Mexico State Police and Grant County Search and Rescue with a swift water rescue effort near the San Francisco River in northern Grant County. Mesilla Valley Search and Rescue and a U.S. Customs and Border Protection aircrew also assisted with the operation.
Search and rescue teams learned that heavy rains contributed to flooding, making the San Francisco River impassable to a man who became injured and stranded. The CBP helicopter crew located the stranded man and provided initial medical attention. The TRT and rescue teams then worked together to extricate the man to a safe location where he was then transported by Glenwood Fire and EMS ambulance to a regional hospital. The man injuries were relatively minor and not considered to be life-threatening.
