March 30, 2021 - U.S. Customs and
Border Protection Air and Marine Operations’ Tucson Air
Branch responds to a request to rescue an illegal entrant in
the Baboquivari Peak Wilderness near Tucson, Arizona. The
air crew, aboard a hoist capable UH-60 Black Hawk, locates
the man who suffered a severe broken leg.
The man started a signal fire that
spread to over an acre due to the strong winds. Agents
successfully extract the man using a hoist. The airlifted
subject was then turned over to the Three Points Fire
Department for further treatment.
