The rescue operation: Drago helicopter and mountain rescue in action
The rescue effort was activated immediately with the joint deployment of personnel and aircraft:
- The rescue of the five hikers: the DragoVF166 helicopter of the Fire Brigade reached the group and rescued five of the six people involved, transferring them to a safe area where mountain rescue operators were waiting to accompany them to Morbegno.
- Emergency transport: the sixth person, who was injured, was instead taken by the regional health service’s air ambulance and urgently transported to Bergamo hospital under Italy’s fast-track procedure for domestic and gender-based violence (Codice Rosso).
Also involved in the operations were a Fire Brigade team from the Zogno station and specialist SAF (Speleo Alpino Fluviale) personnel.
