Welcome to Fresno County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Mountaineering Team



A Message from our "Fearless Leader"


In 2011, our 60 member team has participated in local searches for lost or missing hikers, at risk minors or adults and evidence recovery.  We have also provided search and rescue mutual aid to local counties and the local national parks.  In addition, the team has completed a large preventative search and rescue operation to gather information and promote SAR awareness, as well as continued training in the numerous SAR disciplines.

 

The Fresno County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Mountaineering Team volunteers selflessly donate thousands of hours each year participating in Search and Rescue Operations, training sessions and community service projects.  They continue to demonstrate a selfless desire to not only help those that are lost or injured, but to help all that are in need or less fortunate.

I am proud to be part of an emerging group of volunteer professionals, using our experience and skills to provide a service to the community.   We fill a vital role in our community, both as a civic organization dedicated to helping others and as trained professionals responding to SAR emergencies at a moment’s notice.  We thank the community for their continued support for our volunteers and our mission.  I hope you enjoy our website and I encourage you to become involved in making your community a better place!
