Press Release Rescue   
  
On 12-20-25 at about 7:14pm, the Curry County Sheriff’s dispatch received a 911 call from eighty-eight-year-old Bertie Pearcy of Harbor.  The cell reception was very poor, but dispatch was able to determine that Bertie needed help, that she was lost in the middle of nowhere.  Dispatch then received another 911 call transferred by Brookings PD, from Steve Bertie, who lives in Crescent City, reporting that his mother had called and told him she had driven up the South Bank of the Chetco and got stuck.  Steve Pearcy said his mother had started walking and didn’t know where she was.  
  
Dispatch was able to get a Lat Long from Bertie’s cell phone and then paged out Sheriff’s Search and Rescue.  SAR members arrived and started searching the area.  SAR member Jesse Flovin located Bertie on the 290 spur off of the 1107 Road.  According to SAR member Flovin, Bertie was wet, cold and had fallen and couldn’t get up.  SAR member Flovin was able to get Bertie up and into his vehicle.  Flovin then drove Bertie to meet with Cal Ore Life Flight Ambulance.  Flovin and other SAR members along with a volunteer from Harbor Fire Department, located Bertie’s vehicle a couple miles from where she was found on a dead-end road and were able to get the car unstuck and drove it back out of the area.
