Sunday, October 15th, 2023, at 12:50 p.m., our system received a request for an offroad recovery in California. The requester, Natasha Fondren submitted the following: “One wheel stuck in dirt / I’m with the vehicle“.
We contacted her at 12:53 p.m., and she confirmed the location by GPS and also provided the w3w “fine.playhouse.invaluable”.
The ticket was submitted to our local volunteers just 8 minutes after being received. 4 minutes later, a volunteer, Laura Mckenzie, marked themselves as engaging. Laura reported to be 45 minutes away.
By 1:50 p.m., Laura updated our lobby to let us know she had arrived. At 2:40 p.m., she sent a few photos and closed the request. She got Natasha out.
We appreciate the rapid response from Laura, and the rest of the volunteers involved helping with this offroad recovery in California.
