I don’t believe that rescues are for free to the rescued.
Fact^ I know rescue helicopters in NW Colo are likely to do the first hour or so free to the rescuee due to contractual arrangements with County and Fire, but to continue, the family is made to agree to something like $10,000 bucks per hour. Lot of 'em don't.
