Default Medic Killed Rescuing Hiker


http://www.fox11az.com/news/topstori...11143200f.html

SEDONA -- A Department of Public Safety paramedic was killed Monday
when he was struck by a helicopter blade while rescuing stranded
hikers in Sedona.


NTSB to investigate According to DPS, Bruce W. Harrolle, 36, was
assisting in the rescue of two lost and dehydrated hikers near Bear
Mountain in the Sedona area.

Harrolle was on the ground apparently attempting to escort the hikers
to an awaiting helicopter.

According to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, one of the hikers
was able to enter the helicopter safely. As Harrolle was guiding the
second hiker toward the helicopter, he was struck by a rotor blade and
killed.

The second hiker was not injured and both were flown from the area to
safety.

Harrolle was a nine-year veteran of DPS and is survived by his wife,
two young children and his parents.

The DPS Special Investigations Unit and the National Traffic Safety
Board (NTSB) are investigating.
