The rescuers were cut, rowed and finally made their way into a remote corner of Algonquin Park on the weekend to reach a 13 -year -old boy who was seriously injured when a tree fell on his store, according to the Provincial Police of Ontario (OPP).
OPP described the rescue on Sunday night on social networks.
They said that a mother and a son were camping in North Depot Lake in the extended park west of Ottawa when a tree fell over his store around 10 pm during a strong storm during the night on Saturday. Police said the child was very seriously injured in the incident, but did not provide more details about his condition.
His mother sent an aid call on one of his devices, transmitting his location about 25 kilometers from the entrance of the park where rescuers gathered.
They could not reach the child by air due to bad weather, so rescuers used manual mountains to clear a path of approximately 25 kilometers through fallen trees and other rubble until the chainsaws of the fire department in Deep River arrived, which allows them to cross the ATVs.
The team finally reached the water and rescuers were able to row the last 300 meters to the injured adolescent, and began to give first aid.
At 8:30 am on Sunday, a floating plane of the Ministry of Natural Resources could reduce the lake and transfer the child to the hospital to receive treatment.
The team on the ground included the Police of the Detachment of the Superior Valley of Ottawa, paramedics and rangers of Renfrew County, with other logistical support.
The rescue scene is about 60 kilometers west of Deep River, 95 kilometers southeast of North Bay already 215 kilometers northwest of the center of Ottawa.
