Capt. Jack Ayers, the spokesperson for SFFD, said the first calls came in around 7 p.m. on Memorial Day.<\/p><\/div>

The calls were \u201cfirst reported as a child falling 70 to 100 feet down a cliff from a trail in the war memorial area,\u201d Ayers told SFGATE. \u201cCrews arrived on scene within less than five minutes from the Richmond District stations, Station 34 and Station 14, and they were able to interview witnesses and pinpoint a location where they discovered one subject down, not moving, below the cliff.\u201d<\/p><\/div>

Ayers said the individual was a young adult and said it was unclear how they fell from the cliffs. There are cables that block access to the cliffs\u2019 edge from the memorial site close to Sutro Baths that overlooks the ocean.<\/p><\/div>

Ayers said the SFFD is well-trained in cliff rescue and had conducted a training drill in the same area over the weekend. In addition to rescue crews, who rappelled down to the victim, CHP air support also responded to the scene.<\/p><\/div>

\u201cThe\u00a0CHP H30 helicopter from Napa was clearing another emergency and responded to our incident, where they picked up one of our helicopter rescue technicians at Crissy Field, and then flew less than four minutes to the scene, and were able to rescue the subject in less than 10 minutes by getting into the ambulance,\u201d Ayers told SFGATE.<\/p><\/div>

The rescued individual was taken to a local hospital with traumatic injuries. Their current condition has not been released.<\/p>
