A surveyor became stuck in the mudflats near Girdwood late this morning. He called 911 on his cellphone.
Girdwood Fire Department crews were able to safely rescue a surveyor trapped in mud near Tidewater Slough on Thursday, Nov. 17, 2022. The rescue briefly closed the nearby Seward Highway.
“The individual was stuck in mud up to his waist with about 3 inches of water above that waistband,” Weston said. Girdwood firefighters regularly receive calls for rescues from the mudflats, Weston said. Twenty years ago, the department developed a custom tool to use to spray water from fire trucks directly into the mud around a trapped victim. A rescuer stands on backboards laid on the mud around the victim during the procedure.
