Relevant excerpt / notes
Checked October 11, 2026. Attribution discrepancy: this primary release credits Rural Metro with extrication; KAWC’s October 6 report attributes Jaws of Life rescue to Somerton/Cocopah Fire Department. Neither source establishes how agencies divided the operation. No correspondence sent.
