SAR Vehicle Photos

[August]

Let's see some photos of your SAR vehicles. I'm not a member of an SAR group but here are some photos of the group in my area, North Shore Search & Rescue in North Vancouver, BC.

Awesome rigs. I love "knuckles" and 'alice"

[Lynn]

Those are sweet!

I was on a alpine SAR team in a poor county in Colorado, and our vehicles included an old school bus for a command post, an old suburban that was surplused by the sheriff's department (worn out), and a WWII Kaiser ambulance that was too slow to respond to any searches more than 3.8 miles away.

We did have a pretty cool old snow cat, though. Sorry, no pix.

Here in the States, if a SAR team isn't affiliated with a law enforcement organization or fire/rescue department, we usually don't have dedicated SAR vehicles. I've seen some non-affiliated teams with SAR trucks, but not many. We're usually 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations which require a generous donation or grant to finance a SAR truck.

Many teams on the East Coast, including mine, haul SAR trailers to incidents and training locations. Not only do the trailers haul gear, but can be converted into an incident command post or comms shack. Offroad SAR tasks generally fall upon those members using their own personally-owned vehicles (POVs). My truck and a few other teammate's POVs are kitted out nicely and we see a fair amount of offroad SAR tasks.

Here's my SAR vehicle (aka my own truck)

Must be an East Coast thing. Here on the West Coast even as 501(c)(3) units we have trucks. Some units better than others depending on the affiliation or relationship with the Sheriff's Office or not. In WA our unit was Sheriff affiliated but not funded and we had two fairly new trucks thanks to fundraising and grant money. In Idaho we are not affiliated with a specific Sheriff's Office. Our trucks are a bit older. One donated by a member when he bought a new truck, another donated to us by the power company where one of our members works, and another is a retired ambulance for a command vehicle from a private ambulance company that another member works with.

[BriansFJ]

Must be an East Coast thing.

I have to agree. Our team is affiliated with the Sheriff's Office but we receive no funding, 100% donation/grant supported. With that money we: own our own building with a 6 truck bay, classroom and dispatch room; vehicles are 2 Tucker snowcats, a 2008 Chevrolet 1-ton utility vehicle, a 2005 Ford 1-ton rescue truck, a 2000 Ford mobile command post, a 1997 Chevy 1-ton rescue truck, and a 1997 Chevy Suburban squad. Plus 2 ATVs. Never underestimate the power of fundraising and grant writing.:bowdown:

FWIW, I found this link: http://www.firecall.com.au/vehicles.htm

Lots of "bush" vehicles here, comparable to many SAR trucks here in the U.S. especially in the Queensland photo galleries. I like all the Land Cruisers, Land Rovers, Mitsubishis, etc. Some of the more mid-sized units would be interesting heavier-duty rescue units...:safari-rig:

Apparently we need a lesson on fundraising and grant writing from you guys. We own our own 3-bay building with training and dispatch/ops room, a donated Chevy box truck from the Power Company that is our primary response truck and an old donated Suburban from a member that is kinda a junker.

We could use some new stuff.

It's a lot of work to establish your initial donor list, but we've been doing this for years so we have a good group of repeat contributors that we send out yearly mailers and email newsletters to. That makes it a little easier. We go after major grants for our new vehicles etc.

The Photo is about a year old but we are Still flying the Mighty HH-1N Twin Huey in the Navy, for 2 more months anyway (we are the last command with them). We are starting our transition to the SH-60 Seahawk now so come the end of March they will be no more.

Nice rig. I spent 12 years with KCESAR (1994-2006) before moving to Idaho. King County has about 4 times the action we have in Idaho. It is about the only thing I miss about King County, WA.

Of course, in Idaho as an EMT we are authorized to run Code 3 so I swapped all my amber lighting for red. :smileeek:

Not being familiar with the location, what is the need for such heavy duty equipment (both the H1 and the rig in the background). My curiosity is piqued.:Wow1:

All boats can sink! The number of compartments / bilge pumps make it impracticle for this design.

What was the name of that other single walled , multi compartment, unsinkable boat???:snorkel:

In my 21 yrs as a SAR Lifeboatman I have never seen a design that is affected as much by icing as the 47' MLBs. In fact in our area (Eastern Canada) we are forbidden to operate them in icing conditions!

Like every design, they have thier strenghs, and weeknesses

[alexrex20]

gotta love the coast guard pilots! my buddy's dad is a pilot and i love hearing stories... like hovering (0mph ground speed) over 20ft seas in 80mph winds.

[jeepmedic46]

The coast guard does a awesome job. Used to see their boats a lot when I worked in Gloucester Mass.

If your collecting them, you can take the one I'm on!!

Took a pounding again Saturday night. Two tuna boats lost their wheelhouse windows. 38 NM away

We pounded head to it 3 hrs. Winds 35-45 kts, sea state 4 -5 m (yep 12-16ft)!!:snorkel:
The seas broke lights that are attached to the life rings, tore rescue bags lines apart, just another night in paradice!!:Wow1:

Rendez-vous'd up with them, then escorted back home at 9 Kts

The 47's are like going to sea in a tumble dryer!!

Must be an East Coast thing. Here on the West Coast even as 501(c)(3) units we have trucks. Some units better than others depending on the affiliation or relationship with the Sheriff's Office or not. In WA our unit was Sheriff affiliated but not funded and we had two fairly new trucks thanks to fundraising and grant money. In Idaho we are not affiliated with a specific Sheriff's Office. Our trucks are a bit older. One donated by a member when he bought a new truck, another donated to us by the power company where one of our members works, and another is a retired ambulance for a command vehicle from a private ambulance company that another member works with.

just curious but what county is your unit in? when we lived in idaho we were part of bear lake county. we had an older 80's suburban that me and my dad put a 4 inch lift on it because the springs were sagging, an ex-sherriff dodge durango, and an old ambulance for the dive/climb equipment. also a couple of polaris snowmobiles, an inflatable raft, and a kodiak boat.

[buckeyerocker]

^^^^^^^^^^ and we were part of the county sherriffs department too.

[colodak]

Some of the SAR teams here in Colo. definetly have nice expensive equipment. In some cases (El Paso, Cty) it depends on your sponsor, in other cases (Alpine, Larimer Cty., Rocky Mtn.) , it helps to have the right people, in the right "locations" and "affiliations" with the state. I spent 5 yrs with Gilpin County, resigned when I got married and by the time I was able to get back into it, they had disbanded. The Sheriff and one of the Sgt's definetly supported us, unfortunately the money just wasn't there (sad given all the casino's in the area), I remember one call-out where the one Sgt. berated the leadership of another group who responded to a call within Gilpin Cty. instead of passing the call on to us. We didn't know they were called out until they requested an ambulance for their victim. When the tone went out for that, the Sgt. advised dispatch to tone SAR as well to respond/assist. When it was done, he and the Sheriff let the other team know that in the future they needed to advise us what they were doing first.

Little late to this party, but, after seeing this thread, I took pix of our two primary units during the last call-out. I am a probationary (for now) member of the San Luis Obispo County unit, which is attached to the sheriff's office.

We are pretty busy as we are a vacation destination. We patrol the Oceano Dunes and are called to remote locations pretty regularly. Just not very rugged country here, however.

Not a dedicated SAR vehicle but a very capable people hauler on missions. I'm working on my SAR Tech II training right now.
