The man was transferred to an ambulance and brought to Western Memorial Regional Hospital.
A 64 year old man was rescued in Irishtown on Sunday and was taken out of the woods by helicopter. Cst James Cadigan says RNC and emergency responders received a report around 1:40 that afternoon of a medical emergency in a wooded area near Hann’s Lookout. With the help of a passerby who was travelling on an off-road vehicle, officers quickly located the two individuals. The Bay of Islands Search and Rescue Team was then engaged to arrange a helicopter transport. The man was transferred to an ambulance and brought to Western Memorial Regional Hospital. Cadigan says it’s important to be prepared and the success of this rescue highlights the importance of travelling with a mobile device and having first aid.

BOISAR members then returned to Corner Brook and by 5:30p.m were refueled and ready to go again if needed.
