Minutes From Death: The Impossible Forest Rescue | First Responders Season 1 Episode 1

First Responders Season 1 Episode 1 A weekend motocross ride turns into a terrifying fight for survival when 21-year-old Hemi hits a pine tree at high speed. Stranded deep in a remote New Zealand forest with a shattered pelvis, a Grade 5 liver laceration, and a collapsing lung, his body is rapidly shutting down from internal bleeding. For St. John Critical Care Paramedic Josh, this isn't just a race against the clock—it's his very first operational winch job. Suspended above towering pine trees, Josh must make split-second, life-or-death medical decisions on the forest floor, including an emergency chest decompression, before Hemi runs out of time. Plus, the Auckland Rescue Helicopter team faces one of their most dangerous technical challenges: winching a critically ill patient off the deck of a moving fishing vessel miles out at sea. Watch the raw, unfiltered reality of First Responders who put everything on the line when the stakes are life and death. Welcome to Emergency Response.
