KAMAS, Utah — A Forest Service K-9 officer recently helped to rescue a family with a baby whose vehicle had become stuck in the snow.

According to a statement yesterday from the Heber-Kamas Ranger District, Forest Service K-9 Officer Schiedel responded to a report of a family stuck on a Forest Service road.

Schiedel and his K-9 Diesel responded to the area and were able to locate the family, whose car had slid off of the road and was stuck in the snow in 18-degree weather.

The officer transported the family down the road, and other law enforcement officers met the family and transported them to Kamas, where they received a ride home.
