March Challenge Day Training
“Buffalo Creek High Wind Event”
On March 20th, SARDOC teams enjoyed an Airscent Challenge Day Training involving the following scenario: Early Friday Morning, March 20th 2015 a freak high wind event following a springtime storm brought 115 mph winds to the Buffalo Creek area. Winds were high enough to cause large area “blow down”, flattening many acres of trees.
The Long Scraggy Trailhead area was hit by this event while several people were recreating or camping in the area.
There were known missing persons in the area, but an exact count was unclear.
Search teams were called to the area to try to locate the missing.
Dog Teams enjoyed this intensive day training. Thanks to Roger Matthews and his helpers for setting it up!
