Last Wednesday, members of CSAR participated in an all-member scenario training event, simulating a call for an overturned watercraft and missing subject on Arrow Lakes.

Members of our Swiftwater team were in action on our Seadoos and rescue jet boat; medical and ground teams were deep in the trees practicing medical treatment and patient transport; and the drone team used thermal imaging to locate the subject while keeping an eye on the team from the air.

We’d like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to Keegz South Country Towing!! We had a major vehicle breakdown just as we were leaving Syringa park, and Keegz arrived promptly and professionally to ensure our truck made it back to town, despite the late hour. Thanks again!
