MDI Search & Rescue
Share
Formed in 1982, we are an all volunteer, non-profit service organization that provides search and rescue assistance on Mount Desert Island and surrounding communities. MDI SAR team members respond to call-outs by Acadia National Park, the Maine Warden Service, and local police and fire departments. Capabilities of our team include ground searches for missing persons, emergency wilderness medicine, and technical rope rescue.

We haven't been posting many pictures recently so here are a few from trainings over the past few months and a few from our training yesterday on edge transitions during a raise with the litter in a horizontal orientation without an artificial high directional.

MDI SAR assisted Acadia National Park with a carryout off the Beehive trail on Sunday, July 28. Bar Harbor Fire and Friends of Acadia summit stewards also assisted.

Had a great time participating in the 2024 Bar Harbor 4th of July parade. Team members walked the parade route with Acadia's Evac Kart and our litter with litter wheel attached. New this year were gin poles rigged on both sides of the float so that two people could dangle in their harnesses. The weather was perfect for the parade, overcast and cool!
