Air Station Astoria and Station Cape D join forces to effect back-to-back rescues of four mariners who have abandoned ship in the frigid waters, two severely burned boat crewmen and a vessel on the brink of capsizing.

A Sense of Urgency,

All assets are on high alert as they provide assistance to a boat taking on water in rough seas; rescue a girl precariously stuck on a cliff and tirelessly search for a male gone missing in the ocean.

A Delicate Operation,

For Station Cape Disappointment, time is of the essence as two mariners are forced to abandon ship and a vessel threatens to capsize. Meanwhile, aircrews from Astoria operate a dangerous hoist and stand guard as a vessel with 120 crewmen battles a fire.

Four individuals cling to life as Sector Columbia River launches to perform the rescues: a fisherman knocked unconscious, a paddle boarder gone missing in the Columbia River, a traveler with unclear symptoms and a female clinging to a dangerous cliff.

Air Station Astoria rescues a mariner forced to abandon ship due to harsh weather conditions, while a shore side fire near Station Cape Disappointment threatens to spread toxic fumes.

Station Cape D arms up after receiving reports of illegal activity on a fishing vessel. In Astoria, aircrews race into action to search for hikers lost in the snowy mountains, and to rescue a severely injured surfer.

Safest Hands Possible,

An Air Station Astoria crew faces two back-to-back missions for a severely burned boat crewman and two men stuck on dangerous rocks, while the Commanding Officer and a partial aircrew changes course to rescue a girl in the surf.

Heavy Weather and Huge Seas,

Station Yaquina Bay barrels through rough seas to assist a vessel attempting to cross a dangerous bar. Air Station Astoria scans the water for a missing kayaker and medevacs a boat crewman who suffered a major head injury.

Station Cape Disappointment steps into action when a sailor is left high and dry; and faces deteriorating sea conditions while searching for an unmanned vessel. Air Station Astoria takes to the coast when the tides close in on a surfer, trapped in a cove.
