Today, around 2:30 p.m., the Coast Guard helicopter lifted a patient from Trinidad. According to the photographer who provided the photos, the report was that the person had fallen from a rock but that has yet to be confirmed.

We’ve contacted the Coast Guard and they were busy with the rescue and unable to respond at this point.

UPDATE 8:32 p.m.: Press release from the US Coast Guard:

The Coast Guard rescued a 30-year-old woman near Houda Point Beach near Trinidad, Wednesday.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection contacted Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay watchstanders at approximately 2 p.m., requesting assistance to rescue a woman who had reportedly fallen from a cliff and became injured.

Sector Humboldt Bay watchstanders dispatched an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew to the scene.

The helicopter crew arrived on scene at approximately 2:30 p.m., hoisted the woman and transferred her to St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka.

Her condition is unknown.

Great rescue! I love the CG. U know those helicopters float, Saw one floating in the bay once. I was told the engine blew up. Watched it motor up to shore rev up and fly to parking lot! Very cool.

Dept of Transportation evidently can’t afford the PMS (Planned Maintenance System) on them I guess or not as much as they should if the “engine blew up” !!! The Coast Guard although considered military are under the Dept of Transportation!!!

The Coast Guard isn’t under the Department of Transportation, it’s under the Department of Homeland Security.

Dunno. New ones are faster… and the old ones wore out over time.
Old ones you could (maybe) land in 6′ seas.

Probably because you spend too much time paying attention to and “correcting” other people’s grammar.

As I recall from the Vietnam Era, the USCG was under the Treasury Dept., not Transportation, at that time. Fact Checkers can tell us whose memory worked.
