Lake Chabot Runner Rescued

First responders rescued a 30-year-old woman on June 20, 2024, at around noon following a fall that resulted in a broken ankle. The woman had been running along trails in the back half of Lake Chabot Regional Park when she fell and broke her left ankle. A fellow runner was able to call in the emergency. Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) Engines 25 and 26 responded to the emergency along with the East Bay Regional Parks District Fire Department (EBRPD), the Oakland Fire Department (OFD), and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO). Crews transported the woman out of the park on a special gurney with a single mountain bike wheel that could handle the rough terrain.
