2019 Class D Unit Citation - E14 & T14

On July 4, 2019, while finishing up a medical at China Beach, E14 was directed to the far south side of the beach by beach goers, where 40’ above the beach itself on the cliffs, a victim was calling for help. E14 cleared its call and called for a cliff rescue in which B07, T14, with CR14, and RS1 responded. Upon arrival and noting the location and emotional state of the victim, Capt. Hsieh immediately set up an edge protection line and descended to secure the victim who was beginning to slip from the vertical surface of the hillside. With the victim secured, T14 sent a rescuer to the victim and lowered him to the beach. Without the quick actions of the members of T14 and E14, this individual would have fallen to the rocks below, severely hurting himself or even dying.
