While on patrol in Halls Creek Bay I received a call from the National Park Service dispatch explaining that a woman had a possible finger amputation at the Halls Crossing Marina fuel dock. I responded from Halls Creek Bay. Officer and several other National Park rangers responded from Bullfrog. I arrive on scene to find victim sitting down inside a houseboat with an ice pack on her left hand. 

I question both the driver Operator and Victim on what took place. Victim said that he was docking on the far eastern fuel dock when Victim jumped off the front starboard side of the houseboat to help tie off the boat. As Victim slid the dock line through the eye bolt she began to tie the rope back on itself, however the wind blew the houseboat away from the dock and tighten the knot. Victim had her hand inside the knot when it began to tighten and crushed her hand. Operator jumped off the houseboat and cut the line free from the boat. He then docked the boat and helped untie the dock line from Victim. 

Officer looked over Victim hand and found her to have limited mobility in her fingers. She was in pain but would later be self-transported to the Bullfrog Clinic for x-rays.
