Hikers stranded by storm in West Desert

Published by Shaun Roundy at 9:49 pm under Rescues

SAR units responded to the Allen’s Ranch area of the West Desert for two hikers stranded by an intense cold front and thunder storm.

The hikers had brought a lighter and built a fire to keep warm under an overhang, and they were spotted using a FLIR (forward-looking infra red) device, which spotted the fire’s heat even from around the hillside.
