A police helicopter, seven fire trucks, an ambulance, a ranger truck, and at least 25 to 30 fire and police personnel were dispatched to handle a rescue at Cowles Mountain. One fellow descended from the helicopter. Five more drove up to the accident site in the ranger truck. The rest watched it all from Barker Way. Apparently a fellow crashed his mountain bike, flew over the handle bars and broke his collar bone. It appears to have happened in the steep section of the Barker Service Road near the top of Cowles.
Does anyone know why so many people and vehicles, including fire trucks, are dispatched for such rescues?
