RedactedNarrative: Reporting Ranger was dispatched to the Sheep Creek Boat Ramp on a report of an electrocution of two boaters.  Daggett County was on scene and requesting medical assistance.  I responded from the Steinaker State Park area.  At the request of Daggett County Sheriff, I responded code.  Upon my arrival I was briefed by Sheriff.  I was informed that two people had been riding a PWC and were struck by lightning near the boat-in-only campground "Hideout".  
  
  Classic Lifeguard had flow to the scene and medically evacuated a 49 year female to the University of Utah hospital in critical condition.  The other injured person was deceased at the scene.   A third patient had been identified, however it was the father of the child/spouse of the female victim that was flown.  He was in shock and refused medical care.
  
  Investigation:
  
  I made contact with Chief Deputy and Sgt. and Sheriff.  They advised that they had been dispatched to the Sheep Creek Boat Ramp and further to Hideout Campground on a reported lightning strike that injured 3 people.  Sgt. had responded via water in the Daggett County Sheriff's Vessel and Chief Deputy and Sheriff via land to the boat ramp.  Upon arrival at the ramp, Chief Deputy was able to have a civilian vessel transport him to the Hideout campground.  Upon his arrival he found that a physician  was on scene assisting in the medical treatment of 2 females that had been struck by lightning while on the water aboard a PWC.  Gold Cross Ambulance Service from Vernal, Utah had been dispatched to the scene and while en route had requested medical transport helicopters be dispatched.  Upon arrival at the scene Classic Lifeguard Medical employees attached a cardiac monitoring  unit to the juvenile patient and had a reading of  asytole.  The pupils were dilated and fixed after about 45 minutes of CPR.  Therefore according to Chief Deputy, the patient was considered deceased and no further medical treatment was continued.  The medical treatment to the adult female was continued and she was transported by Classic Lifeguard to University of Utah Hospital for further treatment.  I was informed later in the day that she was listed as a critical patient in the ICU ward there.  Witness statements were obtained by the Daggett County Sheriff's Dept and I was provided a copy.  I was at the Sheep Creek Boat Ramp when Sgt. and Chief Deputy arrived, from the scene of the incident, with three family members and the deceased.
  
  I was able to interview subject at the boat ramp.  Subject advised me that four (4) PWCs and a boat had departed Mustang campground where they were staying.  They had ridden upstream to the area of Hideout campground.  As they arrived, they observed that a dark cloud was approaching and they decided to stop at the campground to let it pass.  Three (3) of the PWCs had arrived at the dock and the fourth was approaching the dock.  At about 30 yards from the dock, a bolt of lightning flashed and struck the area the PWC was in.  When he looked back, he observed that his daughter and wife were both in the water, not on the PWC.  He was still on his PWC so he immediately accelerated out to where his daughter was floating face down in the water.  He grabbed the back of her life jacket and towed her to the dock where others in the party pulled her out of the water and started CPR.  Subject returned to his wife who was floating in the water, but her head was out of the water.  He then took her to the dock where others were waiting to assist her.  Medical treatment was administered by others on the dock including a nurse and a MD.
