Tri-Valley firefighters and a helicopter paramedic crew rescued a person who experienced a medical emergency in Brushy Peak Regional Preserve on Saturday morning.
The situation unfolded just before 9 a.m. Saturday (March 22), with the initial call coming in for a medical emergency in the area of North Vasco and Los Vaqueros roads in rural unincorporated north Livermore, according to Livermore-Pleasanton Firefighters Local 1974.
As Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department Engine Co. 98 were responding, additional information about the patient and observations by firefighters led authorities to determine the incident was within Brushy Peak, which is managed by East Bay Regional Park District, according to the union.
Two more fire engine crews, a battalion chief unit and a medical helicopter were called to the area, as was an off-road vehicle to assist in locating the person in distress, according to Local 1974
“Firefighters provided advanced life support medical care until the helicopter arrived to assume care and transport the patient to the local trauma center,” Local 1974 officials said in a post on Facebook. “We take great pride in the service we provide to our community.”
Additional details about the circumstances of the medical emergency and the patient’s status were not available as of Sunday afternoon.
