The Elko County Sheriff's Office says a man needed to be rescued from his home due to deep snow earlier this week.Â
On January 19, 2023 Elko County Sheriff's Office Deputy Reitz, along with a member of the Search and Rescue team from the Elko County Sheriff's Office, responded to the Montello area where a man was stuck in his home due to deep snow.
Â
The man had a physical disability and needed to be moved to stay with a friend as he was running low on propane for heat and supplies.
Â
They were able to access the mans home with the Sheriff's Office tracked UTV (side by side) and take him safely to a neighbors house.
Â
The sheriff's office says this is a unique service that they have the responsibility to perform.Â
