On 5-28-19 Sevier County Sheriff’s Deputies, Search and Rescue, and EMT’s were dispatched to an area called Whiskey Creek just west of Fremont Indian State Park. 65-year-old Dan Millett of Taylorsville, UT was able to dial 911 after becoming lost when he left the trail. After leaving the trail Millett was unable to find the path but could see I-70 so he began going down hill till he was in the bottom of Whiskey Creek. Millet was suffering from hypothermia due to not having a jacket and also getting into the water from the creek. Search and rescue was able to get to him just before midnight. Shortly after getting to Millett DPS Star 9 helicopter arrived on scene and landed nearby. After getting Millett some water and warming him up, Search and Rescue assisted Millett to the helicopter where he was transported to a waiting ambulance at the Fremont Indian State Park at 2:30 AM. Millett was checked out and after getting warmed up he was released.

Thanks to everyone involved, including Fremont Indian State Park staff who assisted us in locating the trails into where this individual was. A big thanks to Richfield/DPS communication center who kept the hiker on the phone until we got to him.

Sunday May 19th, at 10:18 am a 46-year-old male, from Star Valley Wyoming, called in reporting he had been in a snowmobile crash on Monroe Mountain near Magleby Reservoir. The subject stated it had happened about two hours before. He complained of chest pain and shortness of breath. The subject stated he had crashed while crossing a creek and had to walk to his cabin and leave the snow mobile. Sevier County Search and rescue was called out to find the subject. The patient was able to describe his condition and it was determined to contact a medical helicopter to assist. Poor visibility due to weather made it so the helicopter could not land at the scene, they were forced to land at a location several thousand feet lower in elevation and several miles away. Transportation of the subject was done in stages where the subject was transported by a tracked side by side to a Search and Rescue Vehicle, from the Search and Rescue vehicle to an ambulance then a 45-minute ride in the ambulance to where the helicopter was able to land. The subject was loaded in the helicopter just before 3:00 pm. We appreciate all our volunteers and partners who helped in this rescue.
