Crews Use Ladder Across Partially-Frozen Clear Creek In High-Angle Rescue
GOLDEN, Colo. (CBS4)- Crews with Golden Fire Rescue conducted a high-angle rescue Friday afternoon that closed Clear Creek Canyon for hours. One person was injured, prompting the rescue.
Highway 6 through Clear Creek Canyon was closed from Highway 58 to 119. The road reopened just before 6 p.m.
Crews with West Metro Fire Rescue assisted in the rescue effort. They prepared a ladder and boat to bring the injured patient across a partially-frozen Clear Creek. That will likely happen once the patient is moved off the steep incline.
