South Fraser Search and Rescue provides volunteer emergency response services as recognized by the Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness. Our primary response area covers Delta Richmond Surrey and White Rock BC however our volunteers are trained to a professional standard to respond anywhere within British Columbia as required. We are well regarded as the team with the resources and equipment to successfully manage a large search incident. In the past fiscal year we responded to over 45 unique emergency response incidents for missing and/or injured persons. Additionally we potentially saved several more lives through our presentations of the AdventureSmart (SAR incident prevention) programs that we made to over 500 people by providing them with the knowledge they need to safely go outdoors. Our 40+ highly dedicated members collectively devoted over 15 000 hours to ensure we were there when needed.
