Able 7 Hikers Search and Rescue

On May 23rd, ABLE 7 and its Search and Rescue crew rescued 3 hikers from the Gila National Forest who lost their trail the previous night and became stuck along a cliffside.

Due to poor terrain, ground crews could not reach them and the rescue required the individuals to be hoisted and airlifted out of their position. The hikers were dehydrated with no other injuries.

The quick response and heroic efforts of our Aviation Unit during rescue missions remind us that even in the stressful circumstances, they are willing to risk everything to save lives.

ABLE 7 is only part of our department’s commitment to meeting the needs of all New Mexicans across our state.
