MARQUETTE, MI— The Marquette County Sheriff’s Office now has a way to transport a victim and medical personnel out of remote areas on the back of a UTV.

Search and Rescue personnel will use the insert to expedite emergency response for backcountry rescues. It allows for both a victim and a monitoring first responder to be transported on the back of a UTV.
