Chilliwack Search and Rescue
46195 Fifth Ave V2P 1M8 Chilliwack, BC, Canada

With the pandemic restrictions still in place we have to get creative in group training sessions. The use of video conferences has proved effective! For medical training last night, Chilliwack Search and Rescue were hosted by Miles from SARMed who presented a case study on managing patients with severe accidental hypothermia in the backcountry. A very informative and relevant topic as we head into the cold winter months, and as the backcountry becomes busier. Thanks Miles!

Some excellent tips. Chilliwack Search and Rescue has tipped over 100 calls for service this year with just under two months left to go. Play safe everyone!

Chilliwack Search and Rescue was called into action yesterday evening to assist three fishermen stuck in the middle of the Vedder River. The three men had made their way to the island earlier in the day but, due to the recent storms, the waters rose too quickly to make it back safely. The three men acted correctly and instead of trying reacue on their own, knowing their limits and the high risk, they stayed put and called for assistance.

Congratulations to Theo Mosterman, Tracey Heron and Rob Wilmsmeier, who officially became Lifetime Members of Chilliwack SAR on Wednesday night! Each has served with the team for more than 20 years, offering their knowledge, skills, positive attitudes and leadership to our team and to the SAR community. Thank you so much for your dedication and service!
