Nelson Search & Rescue
| Nelson Search and Rescue is a group of approximately
40 highly skilled volunteers whose mandate is to respond to assist local police
and ambulance personal in a variety of different ways. The Nelson area is world
famous for its recreational use especially during the winter season resulting
in the majority of workload preformed by the team being carried out over the
winter months. The team consists of a management team, rope rescue team,
swiftwater team, trackers and HETS Class D longline personal. These members
include physicians, paramedics, avalanche technicians, professional guides as
well as a wide array of local residents with high back country skills. These
highly skilled members respond on average to 30 calls per year day or night
sometimes under some very challenging and difficult conditions. NSAR is
recognized for its high level of equipment to support our members as well as
the willingness of members to provide personal gear when required to carry out
a task. This level of skill, equipment and training has allowed NSAR to
function at an extremely high level of efficiency and safety not formally
available in most small interior communities.
