Marin County Search and Rescue

It was a busy weekend of training for Marin SAR! We had three different trainings: drivers training, HeliOps in Mendocino County, and a rope rescue training for our monthly Saturday training. 70 team members attended a training at Lake Lagunitas, focusing on rappelling, ascending, and building and operating low angle rope rescue systems. Simultaneously, 15 team members participated in the annual HeliOps training put on by Mendocino County Search and Rescue. This event gives SAR members hands on repetitions of working around helicopters including safe loading and unloading, air to ground communications, and short haul operations. We also had 12 new members go through our drivers training, which is required to operate any of our vehicles.
