Roping them in: Officials hope to make Pocket Wilderness rescues easier

Another rescue incident is in full operation currently. A 9-1-1 call was made reporting a female injured about a 1/2 mile up the trail at the Pocket Wilderness. Mowbray Volunteer Fire Department responded and requested a Mutual Aid response for additional units. Walden's Ridge Emergency Services, Sale Creek VFD, Dallas Bay VFD, Hamilton County Emergency Services, Soddy Daisy Fire Department, Sequoyah VFD and Chattanooga Hamilton County Rescue responded to the scene to assist Mowbray VFD. Lewis Chapel VFD is stationed at Mowbray VFD for any additional emergency calls. Currently, 27 rescue personnel are in the woods to carry the female patient out to Hamilton County EMS personnel. Fire officials reported a female rolled her ATV on top of her and sustained a knee injury. The patient is being secured to the scoops stretcher and will be carried out. Rescue efforts should take about two hours.

Rescuers help move a 19-year-old hiker who fell off a bluff Saturday at the Pocket Wilderness near Soddy-Daisy. Authorities say the Nashville man injured his head and was airlifted to Erlanger hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. (Be aware: he might die and we might need to change cutline)

The water will be tested for DNA samples, which will hopefully tell researchers what kinds of animals have been in the creek.
