VICTIM RESCUED AFTER 7-HOUR TECHNICAL CLIFF RESCUE AT DEAD MAN’S POINT SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The San Francisco Fire Department has completed a 7-hour technical cliff rescue at Dead Man’s Point in Land’s End, Presidio. As a United States Coast Guard helicopter arrived, dense fog returned, making air rescue unsafe. With the cliff perch becoming increasingly unstable, SFFD rescue technicians developed a controlled plan with the victim in mind. The victim slid down the cliff face in a controlled descent and landed on the shoreline sustaining minor injuries. SFFD rescue swimmers were staged in the water and immediately assisted the adult victim through heavy surf to a waiting SFFD rescue boat. Rescue swimmer Paramedics evaluated and treated the victim who was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. One SFFD rescue swimmer sustained minor, non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to the emergency room. The firefighter is expected to make a full recovery. This rescue was conducted in extreme terrain and severe weather. Crews faced: - Steep cliffside terrain with loose, unstable rock - Unstable cliffside/perch that deteriorated during the operation, creating a fall hazard for the victim and rescuers - Dense fog and changing weather that reduced visibility to near zero and repeatedly grounded air operations - Heavy brush limiting access and anchor points - Challenging surf conditions on the shoreline during extraction SFFD thanks all partner agencies for their support during this complex incident: San Francisco Police Department drone unit, United States Park Police, United States Coast Guard, and all collaborating agencies.
