The members of Search & Rescue, who are all volunteers, are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and respond to many types of incidents including searches for lost or missing persons, technical rope rescues including air rescue, swift water, and dive rescues, mountain rescues, wildfire and flood evacuations.  These volunteers take time away from home, work, family, and friends to respond to these emergencies.
