Rescue blanket aids mountain crews across agencies
Rescuers use water from melted snow or rivers for escapes and rescues, including the Robert Bass incident. Arnold doubts commercial value of the blanket but wants it shared with other units. He has given the blanket to the Bellingham Mountain Rescue Council, which makes them in limited runs. The National Park Service, Crystal Mountain Ski Patrol and Yakima Mountain Rescue Council already use them.
