A social media post by a San Francisco Fire Department-affiliated account shares details of a Lands End fall victim rescue with help from a CHP helicopter crew.
Though he was able to make a cellphone call to report his fall, crews dispatched to the area were unable to find him at first. As firefighters searched by ground, the helicopter began searching from above and soon found him within a grove of trees along the cliffside.
