Hiker Rescue | Santa Monica Mountains
A ground and air response by Los Angeles Fire Department was set in motion on Thursday, October 22, around 1:50 p.m. in response to an adult female hiker who suffered an apparent ankle fracture after falling approximately 40 feet from the trail into a ravine, according to LAFD Spokesperson Brian Humphrey.
The hiker was located in a “remote section” of the Temescal Canyon Trail, just south of the waterfall, the report continued.
“A hovering LAFD rescue helicopter will hoist the injured woman aboard and provide in-flight care during direct transport to an area hospital,” Humphrey concluded in the alert.

According to a chart released by United States Census 2020, 69.6% of housing units self-responded and 30.3% were accounted for through Nonresponse Followup.

In addition to determining the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives, census results inform how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funds will be allocated for the next 10 years for critical public services and infrastructure like emergency response, fire departments, schools, hospitals, roads and bridges.”
