Elderly man rescued from cliff in San Francisco, California

In a dramatic rescue operation, the California Highway Patrol's H-30 helicopter and the San Francisco Fire Department collaborated to save an elderly man who had fallen approximately 30 yards from the edge of a cliff near Lands End in San Francisco, California, on September 25.

As firefighters conducted a ground search, H-30 took to the skies to search from above. After a brief search, the helicopter team located the man in a challenging-to-reach grove of trees.
