Injured hiker rescued near Dante's View

By Petra Fried in the City at 4/19/2011 09:18:00 AM

*Injured Hiker* Griffith Park near Dante's Peak; MAP 593-J2; FS 35; PRELIM: Adult male hiker fell on remote trail; LAFD air/ground response; NFD (No Further Details) Ch:7,12 @ 7:42 AM -Brian Humphrey ###

Tue, Apr 19, 2011, 08:08 UPDATE: Griffith Park/Dante's Peak* LAFD copter found patient, lowered medics to ground; Ground transport anticipated - Brian Humphrey###

Good thing LAFD has a helicopter, because Park Rangers don't go on duty in Griffith Park until 10am anymore.

Note to LAFD: There is no "Dante's Peak" in Griffith Park. Only in Hollywoodland where Pierce Brosnan engaged a Mt. St. Helens lookalike in a silly movie.  Dantes' View is on Mt. Hollywood in Griffith Park, but the Hollywood Sign is not. The Hollywood Sign is on Mt. Lee.  Everyone got that?

    Dear GPW,

    Thanks for the noteworthy correction re: Dante's View.

    We should know better, but our one-person office was multi-tasking :), and despite our best effort, entered the exact (incorrect) verbiage used by the caller.

    They said it, we typed it verbatim (shame on us) and it was shipped to 20K+ of our best friends, including Griffith Park Wayist.

    We'll aim to do better next time (and there will be another!, so please don't hesitate to let us know.

    Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,

    Brian Humphrey
