Firefighters called to do rope rescue of teen by Michael Gregory Oakville Beaver Staff 3 | Thursday, February 5, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Oakville firefighters performed a rope rescue early Tuesday evening to reach a 15-yearold youth who was on a side of a cliff in Wildwoods Park. Oakville fire crews and Halton paramedics were called to the scene, near Dorval Drive and North Service Road West, just before 6 p.m. "The individual was down about 20 feet on a very, very steep incline," said Deputy Fire Chief Andy Glynn. "Fire crews had to set up a rope rescue system to go down and remove him from the side of the bank." The rescue lasted approximately 1.5 hours, and the teen was transported by paramedics to Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital for treatment of a possible case of hypothermia. Glynn said the Oakville Fire Department encourages residents to "stay away from those steep inclines on the river bank, especially this time of year." inside today's Spotlight Beaver Trails Health Oakville firefighters carry a stretcher into a ravine near Dorval Drive and North Service Road Tuesday evening after being called to perform a rope rescue of a teen trapped in the ravine. | photo by Andrew Collins - special to the Beaver Beaver www.insideHALTON.com 6 34 36 Arts Sports Classified 37 39 42 For home delivery & customer service call 905-631-6095, 5300 Harvester Rd., Burlington New subscriptions call 905-631-6095 or subscribe online at www.oakvillebeaver.com Pharmasave Drugs, Metro, Lastman's Bad Boy, Rabba, Kitchen & Bath Inc., Bath Depot, Rona, Nature's Source, Real Canadian Superstore, No Frills, Lowes Canada, City Parent, Food Basics, Palma Pasta, Mississauga Hyundai, JYSK, 2001 Audio Video, Scan Decor, Hudson's Bay Co., Concept Lighting Gallery, Leon's Furniture, Home Outfitters, Fortinos, Staples, Rexall, Michael's, Linen Chest, Toys R Us, Pet Valu, Shoppers Drug Mart, Maritime Travel, The Source, Pharma Plus, Canadian Tire, Sears, Walmart, Best Buy, Future Shop, Longo's, Centennial Windows, Home Depot, Red Plum, Bass Pro Shops, Kohl & Frisch, Reliance, Drug Trading, Sobeys, Freshco, *All flyers not necessarily delivered to all homes COMPLIMENTARY TEETH WHITENING* Dr. Vanessa Milich & Associates Family Dental Care Encouraging Healthy and Happy Smiles Queensbury Dental Caring for Oakville Families for 10 years Welcoming New Patients Evening and Saturday Appointments · All gAmes plAyed in OAkville · prOgrAms fOr kids Aged 3-17 BALL HOCKEY LEAgUEs (AgEs 7-17) $149.99 (until March 31) 2014 oakville minor ball hockey league YOUTH BALL HOCKEY Includes jersey, shorts, socks $159.99 (after March 31) 905.849.8449 Dundas St. Oakmead n Trafalgar Rd.
