Boy Falls At Bodega Head: Four-year-old boy falls off cliff in California, lives

A 4-year-old boy was rescued after he fell more than 230 feet down a cliff at Bodega Head off Bodega Bay on Monday, CBS San Francisco reports.

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat says the child was on a family outing on a trail at Bodega Head Monday evening when he suddenly couldn’t be found.

Bodega Bay Fire Department rescuers spotted the boy on the rocky beach at the bottom of the cliff.

Two firefighter-paramedics rappelled down with a rescue basket and reached the boy, with help from illumination flares fired into the air from a Coast Guard motor lifeboat.

Fire Captain Justin Fox says the boy was awake and crying by the time he was loaded into an ambulance and rushed to a hospital.
