It may be the last decision you ever make.

Area waterways are still running cold & fast due to snow melt. It only takes a few minutes to lose muscle control with water temperatures this cold.

With warm air temperatures expected again this week, beware of cold, fast-running water! #CAwx

Last, but certainly not least - if this team sounds like something you would like to be a part of - we are always recruiting new members to become a part of our team. All the details on how to start the process to join this team are on our website.

Whew!!! We finally had a couple of days to slow down, catch our breath, and regroup just a bit... The attached graphic shows our team's response to this crazy series of low elevation snow/rain events. Our team of volunteers spent almost 1,000 hours serving the community.
