Jazzerboo Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) Hey, I was wondering how many geocachers are members of Search and Rescue. I've seen polls for military and law enforcement and it made me curious to find out how many of us are Search and Rescue. I've been a member of the volunteer Search and Rescue association in my community for 4 years now. I am a member of both Ground SAR and CASARA(Civillian Air Search and Rescue). Is there anyone else out there?? State what type of Search and Rescue you are in(ground, sea, air) and how long you have been in for. Edited September 1, 2005 by Jazzerboo Quote Link to comment

LgRedneck08 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I am a Lt. for the Polk Co. (Fl.) Fire Dept. and a member of our newly formed USAR team to go along with our HAZ-MAT team. Recently, I have been tasked with putting together the proposal for a wilderness SAR team. We will probably start on the wilderness team after the first of the new year. Quote Link to comment
