Victim Won't Have To Pay Rescue Costs

The victim of a weekend rescue on Mount McKay will not have to pay  for his misadventure.  The 24 year old man was attempting to parachute down when something went wrong and he became stranded.   Chief John Hay says the costs of the rescue are minimal and will not be charged back to the victim. He says it's not something the fire service normally does and in this case the extra costs were minimal, amounting overtime for some off duty technicians.  Saturday evening's rescue lasted for about 8 hours.
