Kamloops Search and Rescue

In case of an emergency, call 911.

Kamloops Search and Rescue volunteer members are all ages and from all walks of life. They share a common interest in providing important life-saving services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All team members are skilled in ground searches and are trained in the use of snowmobiles and UTVs. Interested individuals can also receive further training in rope, swift water, ice rescue, and other specialized disciplines. Strong community support, at many levels, allows us to provide this essential service.

KSAR is called out by the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) to assist the RCMP, BC Emergency Health Services, and BC Coroners Office as well as providing alerts and evacuation assistance during events such as wildfires or floods for civic and municipal governments.

On Saturday, members of KSAR partnered with Summit Helicopters to obtain their annual Helicopter Hover Exit Certification. A big shout-out to Summit pilot Brent for your professionalism and expertise.
A hover exit occurs when a helicopter cannot land safely, but passengers need to either board or disembark. Such situations can arise during any of our call-outs, especially in areas with rough terrain, slopes, marshes, or mountainous regions. With their new certification, the KSAR team members will be better prepared to do what they love most—keeping you and your loved ones safe in the Kamloops area and beyond. (DG)
