On Friday, a state police helicopter crew rescued five people from the Susquehanna apartment after the initial boat rescue attempt failed.

According to a press release issued by the Maryland State Police, the Trooper 6 helicopter crew was deployed to find the fire rescue boat that was in trouble during the rescue mission.

At around 7:45 in the evening, a group of waterfowl hunters called for initial rescue after their boats began to experience operational problems. Emergency rescuers from the Special Operations Department of the Harford County Emergency Services Department, Susquehanna Hose Company, and many other agencies found the hunter about an hour after the initial request for emergency assistance. But the crew on the small rescue boat was trapped in shallow water and mud.

Trooper 6’s four-person helicopter team found a ship with three hunters and two rescuers on board shortly before 9:20pm. Due to the Trooper 6’s crew being low on fuel, they requested additional assistance to evacuate the crew from the air. 1.

The two pilots flying the Trooper 1 placed the helicopter 100 feet above the hunters and rescuers. The helicopter crew put a rescue basket on the side of the ship. Everyone on the ship climbed in and was hoisted into the helicopter. All five people on the ship were successfully carried on the plane and taken to the National Guard Armory in Havre de Grace, where they were assessed for hypothermia.

A US Coast Guard helicopter in Atlantic City, New Jersey was also dispatched to the scene, but the state police helicopter crew completed the rescue operation before arriving.

The entire adventure takes about four hours. There were no reports of injuries.
