Search and Rescue class offered
Are you one of those who looks forward to the opportunity to find a lost person out there in the wilderness? A good opportunity to get out there yourself and help someone, perhaps even save a life at the same time? Lane County Search and Rescue is offering their SAR 101 class beginning in late January.
This class is a requisite for anyone who wants to do search and rescue with the county. It would also be a way for patrollers without search and rescue experience, but who are interested in being more involved with search and rescue up at the ski area, to get some good training.
If a patroller is interested, he or she should contact Laurie Monico for more information. An application to take the class and the class schedule are available.
