WEST KELOWNA - An injured mountain biker is recovering after being rescued by West Kelowna firefighters.
West Kelowna Fire Rescue says in a news release crews responded to Rose Valley Regional Park around 2:20 p.m. today, Oct. 5, for an injured mountain biker.
The patient was found quickly by crews who accessed the biker on foot through the trail system. The fire department says the biker had a knee injury but was otherwise in stable condition.
Assistant fire chief Brent Watson says crews packaged and transported the patient out on a rescue device known as "the wheel" and turned them over to B.C. Ambulance paramedics waiting in the parking lot.
