Chopper Crew Rescues Man From Rocky Marin Beach: VIDEO

MARIN COUNTY, CA — A chopper rescue crew on Sunday pulled a distressed man trapped at a rocky Marin County beach to safety, the California Highway Patrol said.

The CHP posted video of the rescue on its Facebook page showing an H-30 helicopter dropping a rescue basket attached to rope down to Red Rock Beach, where a Marin County firefighter already on the scene is shown helping the man get into the basket.

The firefighter and victim are then shown being hoisted from the shoreline.

The Marin County Fire Department and the Stinson Beach Fire Protection District assisted with the rescue.

“The victim was transported to a local hospital in moderate distress,” the CHP said.

“This rescue was a great example of state, county, and local responders working together to rescue someone who was in need.”
