Leader of NSR urging people not to head into the mountains during a heat wave

BY , Jun 29, 2021 7:29 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

The leader of the North Shore Rescue team is urging people not to head into the mountains during a heat wave that has shattered temperature records.

Mike Danks says anyone hankering to head into the backcountry could be putting themselves and rescuers in danger, and not just because of the heat.

He says the soaring temperatures are quickly melting snow, and that could make crossing some areas extremely treacherous.

Danks says two people were rescued in separate incidents from North shore mountains last week and that one of them had passed out from heat exhaustion while the other began vomiting.
