QUESNEL, B.C. — The B.C. Conservation Officer Service says three of its members rescued a man who was stranded in a remote area near Quesnel, B.C., last week.
It posted about the rescue on Twitter on Friday, saying the 60-year-old miner had been caught in a winter storm.The conservation service says he was stuck about 26 km from a plowed road and that while he had a trailer for shelter, a large snowfall made driving out with his Jeep virtually impossible.
It says the conservation officers used snowmobiles to find the man, who had tried to use a very old, slow and unreliable snowmobile that likely wouldn’t have made the trek to safety.“One thing I love about this job is you never know what’s going to happen in a day,” Conservation Officer Kyle Bueckert said in the post.This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 11, 2023.
