CG rescues crewman near Destin

NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard rescued a 39-year-old male crewmember aboard the motor vessel "No Pressure" about 40 miles offshore from Destin, Fla., on Jan. 15. The CG received a distress call at 11:15 a.m. stating a crewman was suffering from heart attack-like symptoms. The CG launched an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from New Orleans and a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium boatcrew from Station Destin. Emergency medical services personnel, accompanying the boatcrew, recommended not hoisting the man onto the helicopter. The boatcrew transferred him to an awaiting ambulance at its Destin station. The crewman was last reported to be in stable condition.
