A man and his dog were rescued after the dog fell into the water, prompting the man to attempt a rescue and subsequently become stranded on a rockface. The Mendocino fire department received a call about the incident and dispatched a rescue team that included ten volunteers with Jet Skis, a cliff rescue vehicle, park lifeguards, sheriff's deputies, and an ambulance crew. Conditions on the water were ideal, but darkness posed challenges. The fire assistant chief advised caution when exploring cliffs, especially with pets.
There were no injuries. We had to launch boats with our Jet Skis, and we had our cliff truck, so we had to drop ropes down and get them onto the skid of the Jet Ski to bring them to shore.
It is very dangerous to be on the water after dark, but we had perfect conditions.
He urged caution when exploring cliffside areas, especially with pets.
Dogs are way more capable than you are in climbing cliffs. They are very self-sufficient.
