On Tuesday afternoon, a hiker was near Echo Lake when he fell about 20 feet down a hillside and suffered major injuries, according to the CHP \u2013 Valley Division Air Operations Facebook page.<\/p>\n
Due to the remote location of the hiker, a CHP helicopter was asked to assist. El Dorado County Search and Rescue team and fire personnel from Lake Valley Fire Department also responded to the incident. Firefighters hiked up to the patient\u2019s location, began treating his injuries, and prepared him for rescue.
