Welch Island rescue

[dickiej]

This is a perfect example of how rescuers can be put at risk by irresponsible or even deliberate behavior…I’m thinking people who go on wilderness adventures totally unprepared thinking “ I’ll just call 911 if I get into trouble”…. or even worse, people who call in false reports of being in danger. This is also why they should be held accountable, both monetarily and criminally.
