Night or day, we’re ready. 🌙🚁By combining Night Vision with the Petzl LEZARD, we can safely hoist Rescue Techs into steep terrain. The LEZARD’s breakaway link ensures a secure transition from helicopter to mountain.

It was a busy weekend for our volunteers! 🏔️

Between the Port Moody Fingerling Festival 🐟 and ongoing training, we responded to 3 calls: a dementia walk-away, a medical emergency, and a lost hiker.

📷 Big news from Coq SAR. We’re excited to announce we are testing our newest piece of equip… a person-carrying drone! That’s right— why hike for hrs when we can now simply fly our searchers directly into the field?
Stay tuned as we continue refining this cutting-edge tech.
