Lake Wenatchee Search & Rescue

by Dave Neir on January 23, 2008

There are two training sessions coming up for those who have volunteered to assist the Sheriff.

The first session is scheduled for 1pm thursday January 24 and will cover using a GPS to locate those in need. Almost all Cell phones now broad cast a GPS location when 911 is called and this session will cover GPS maping and locating geared to those who have received their S&R certification. This course is free.

The second course will be head on Feb 12th. This is a training exercise for all S&R volunteers in Chelan County and will cover avalanche rescue, GPS, Incident Command Structure and coordination. This training is provided free by Chelan County to all certified S&R members and will depart from the Heliport in Wenatchee Tuesday Morning at 7:00 am.

If you are interested in joining the Lake Wenatchee Search & Rescue group, please contact me.
