Technical Rescue of Injured Male in Riverbed near Bob Hope Drive and Riverside

Summary: A 30-year-old male with a left leg injury was reported conscious and breathing, having been at the scene since the previous night. The incident required a coordinated technical rescue involving Los Angeles City Fire and Burbank Fire resources. The patient was located in a riverbed near Bob Hope Drive and Riverside, an area with difficult access for emergency apparatus. Multiple fire and rescue units, including Engine 76, Truck 27, USAR 88, and Burbank resources, collaborated to extract the patient using a Stokes basket. The operation involved scene management, coordination between agencies, and the use of specialized equipment. The patient was ultimately stabilized and prepared for transport, with the situation being scaled back as Burbank assumed command.
