In the line of work we all do, are we really ever “off duty?” Nope.

Thanks, @MarinSAR for helping out an injured cyclist a couple of days ago!

This goes out to all SAR personnel who, during their “free” time, volunteer to help people out when they are most in need. TYFYS!

As we head into winter, here’s a bit of good news. The MRA Education Committee has partnered with the Utah Avalanche Center’s Know Before You Go (KBYG) program & developed an avalanche safety online training. https://t.co/nSESgW8tke) This is a great item to have in your toolbox!

[Butte County Sheriff's Search and Rescue @ButteCoSAR]

Congratulations to our current class of cadets for completing their culminating event on Saturday! They spent a full night and day, some of it cold and rainy, problem-solving, pushing themselves, and learning.

Special thanks to The Donut Nook and Spiteri's Deli for feeding us.

Check out this entire thread with videos of a bear (yes, a bear) recovery by El Paso County SAR #SAR #searchandrescue

[CPW SE Region @CPW_SE]

Sad ending for a bear today that fell down a waterfall at #ColoradoSprings' @seven_falls. After @COParksWildlife Officers Cassidy English and Sarah Watson euthanized the crippled bear, the El Paso County Search and Rescue team recovered the remains in dramatic fashion. (1 of 6)

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Inexperienced adventurers have flooded the Western U.S. during the pandemic, straining volunteer search-and-rescue teams.

“They come here and they’re like, ‘It’s beautiful, it’s a big open space.’ And it is,” one volunteer said. “It’s also dangerous.”

A 42 year old female broke her ankle today at #CharmleePark in #Malibu. Multiple agencies responded and packaged the patient in a litter basket for a carry out. #sar #searchandrescue #teamwork #savinglives #firstresponders #hike #hiking

2/An operation involving a missing child gets the heart pumping & requires pulling out all the stops. After a lengthy and complex day with numerous search assignments the child was located safely and returned home. This was, obviously, the best outcome for all. ❤️

1/ Search is one of 5 core disciplines of MRA teams & this wk @DCSARColorado performed a large-scale multi-agency urban search for a missing child who never made it to school. The op involved nearly 100 members of law enforcement & other SAR teams, including @epcsar for K9 help.
