80B4 and 2442 arrived on scene shortly after dispatch and found a person down a 20 foot steep embankment. Somers Fire quickly worked together to establish rope lines and belay lines down into the woods. This allowed the manpower and equipment to be lowered down to the patient. Somers Fire and EMS worked together to stabilize and hoist the patient safely up the steep embankment. Units had to operate quickly due to area storms. Units operated for approximately 30 minutes to extricate the patient from the woods. The patient was transported to a local trauma center with non life threatening injuries. All Somers Fire and EMS units operated for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes before returning to service.
