Winter trap under Вихрен: tourist evacuated by air for the first time

Планинска спасителна служба of the city detachment Банско conducted a joint operation with a specialized aerial surveillance unit Гранична полиция. Help was needed for a traveler who found himself in a difficult area in winter conditions under the peak Вихрен and lost the opportunity to continue his journey.

A border guard helicopter quickly transported four mountain rescuers to the area Кабата. After that, the victim was lifted aboard and evacuated by air. The entire process was coordinated by a ground rescue team, which included four more service employees.

This was the first case of joint work between the Банско mountain detachment and border guard aviation during rescue operations in this area.
