From the desk of SHERIFF JOHN WARD CURRY COUNTY, OREGON 94235 MOORE STREET, SUITE 311 29808 Colvin Street (Physical) GOLD BEACH, OR 97444 (541) 247-3221 - FAX: 541-247-6893 Wardj@co.curry.or.us On 11/11/25 at or about 8:40 a.m., a citizen caller reported to Brookings Police Department that there was possibly a vehicle off the roadway on USFS 1107 road, at approximately the 8-mile marker. The citizen caller advised that they could hear someone yelling for help from below the roadway. The Winchuck Fire Department and Cal-Or Ambulance were dispatched to the area. At the time, Sgt Zane Van Zelf heard the information over the radio and responded to the area. At or about 8:56 a.m. Deputy Bryce Starbird arrived on scene and determined that there was not a vehicle off the roadway as reported. Deputy Starbird did hear someone yelling and screaming over the steep embankment, approximately 100 feet below the roadway. It was unknown at this time, but it was believed that there may have been possibly two subjects over the embankment. Later determined there was only one person. The victim could not be seen but could be heard yelling and screaming. It was determined that the Curry County Sheriff`s Office SAR rope team would be needed to safely reach the subject. At or about 10:09 a.m. SAR member Andy Stubbs repelled down and located the one victim in the water near the north side of the river. The subject later identified as 45-year-old Bruce Stacy of Reedsport, Or., was at the bottom of the embankment in the water. Bruce had a broken leg, and he was verbally unresponsive to the emergency personnel that arrived to assist him. Bruce continued to struggle with the emergency personnel as they rendered aid to him, and he was restrained inside a stokes basket. The SAR rope team then set up a rope system and pulled Bruce, SAR volunteers Tim Hawkins and Andy Stubbs, back up to the roadway. While this was happening, Sheriff Deputies were able to get Bruce`s dog, Nola, safely back to a patrol vehicle. Nola had been over the embankment and appeared very scared as her owner was being rescued. Nola was later taken to Wild Rivers animal shelter. Bruce was then transported by Cal-Or Ambulance to Sutter Coast Hospital to get treated for his broken leg, hypothermia, and other injuries sustained during the incident. This incident was typical of a rescue in our rural area and took the collaboration of all agencies to reach and render aid to Bruce Stacy and his dog Nola. The first responders on scene were Winchuck Fire, Harbor Fire, Cal-Or Ambulance, Curry County Search and Rescue volunteers, and Curry County Sheriff`s Office.
