ASAR reported they responded to the call to rescue the man, who was approximately 20 kilometres up a logging road in the area north of Qualicum Beach. He had slipped and fallen on some rocks, sustaining serious injuries.

Two-dozen ASAR members responded and performed a stretcher carry through difficult terrain. A Sunwest helicopter was waiting and took the man on to an ambulance for transport to hospital.
