Itâs been a couple of busy nights in a row for Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) teams.
Around dinner time on Wednesday, Feb. 14, the Âé¶čAV RCMP asked COSAR for help in finding âa lost, cold and wet amateur geologistâ near Chute Lake.
With the help of an RCMP helicopter, the person was spotted and an officer was able to find the geologist. The two were able to walk back to the officerâs vehicle which was stuck on a close-by forest service road.
COSAR crews were on the way to help the officer get their vehicle unstuck, but the officer was able to on their own. The geologist was returned to his home in Âé¶čAV.
âEveryone was back home by 9 p.m. to continue their Valentineâs Day,â said COSAR in a Facebook post.
The night before (Tuesday, Feb. 13), COSARâs Winter Response team went to locate a missing sledder in the GrayStokes area.
After being on the north side of Mount Moore, the sledder was able to make it out on their own.
Wednesday nightâs rescue was the second rescue in the Chute Road/Lake area in a week. On. Feb. 8, COSAR was asked by the Âé¶čAV RCMP to attend at scene at Johns Family Nature Conservancy Regional Park on Chute Road.
