Write your reply.

assistant: Ref: Message for Pacific Helmets, check my literature and found a couple
of EMS/Specialty (Rescue) helmets.  One them has a face shield and the
other does not.  If you don't have any luck might want to check on
these.  The following is a brief description:
         Cairns & Bros Helmets Mdl 770 Philadelphian Fire/EMS/Rescue w/
         Wrap around face shield.
         Cairns & Bros Helmets Mdl HP1 Commando for Rescue/Industrial
         w/o faceshield.
Call the Firebarn at 800-825-0911 and request a Cairns & Bros Color
brochure.  I don't know if they carry these in their catalogs but I am
sure that they can get it as they do carry Cairns Helmets and
replacement equipment.  I have ordered from them before and they are
fast in shipment (about 6 days).  Hope this helps

about 4 years long.  Off the top of my head,  and I hope you have a
receiver that can listen,  the following frequencies in MHZ should give
you some help.
5.718(main SAR freq across Canada), 147.670(is a local Ham repeater
that when a major environmental emergency happens the provincial
government takes control of it and others all over Ontario)
I hope that helps you out a bit.  I also have a scanner listing of
frequencies for Ontario by town, city or village name if that would help
also.  Bye for now. :)

assistant: Hello out there!
     As my first posting here on the SAR echo I would pose a question. I am
a Respiratory therapist EMT-P interested in rescue work. I went to
Paramedic school at Davenport Colege in Grand rapids MI and Have an A.S. in
Respiratory therapy from Mansfield University in PA. I went into Paramedic
school as an already registered basic level EMT interested in rescue work,
I looked around a bit and finally went back to school for Respiratory after
speaking with one of the representitives of the school. I am still very
interested in the search and rescue end of things and wondered if anyone
out there might be able to recommend a hospital or other organization that
may have a position open for a person with my background. I have heard of
at least one helicopter service that hires Paramedic resipratory personell
but when I applied, at the time, I did not have enough experience to
qualify for the position ( I currently have 2 Years in respiratory). Any
leads would be helpfull as this is something I have wanted to do for years,
relocating is no problem and I would be willing to recertify in anything I
have let lapse (I am currently cert in ACLS and have held cert in BCLS -
Advanced track) Thanks in advance. yours truly David Hatch Elmira NY

assistant: the radio freq. #ers that I left on the BBS are for the provincial mutual
freq. at this time most Fire depts like ours ( onoway fire& rescue use it
when we are on a mutual aid call with a other dept. If you have not h eard,
we now have a provincial SAR board. it is called S.A.R.A  at the time all SAR
groups met back in Oct. 94 we formed this body to over see all SAR groups to
see that all SARs get the same training. EG. ERI ground search ice/water
rescue K9 ad so on, at that time APSS told all groups to use 156.855 that way
if you live in Frank Slide and your SAR is called to Jasper to help my sar
Yellowhead SAR we can use are own radios same channel and no shortage. If you
would like more info let me know my wife is on the prov. board SEC/tres.

BY: Bugsy to ALL on Tue Jan 02 1996 23:49:00 Saw your msg about looking for a
job in SAR, the only recommendation that I could come up with would be to get
on a fire dept. I am currently a qualified firefighter and I have never heard
of anyone other than fire dept. personnel doing any extrication and/or SAR.
Even the Federally funded SAR personnel are firefighters themselves. As a
rescue worker on the Alfred P. Murrah Building here in OKC, I had the
opportunity to talk with members from several different teams. Hope you can
find what you're looking for.

experiences. I was involved in a search a short time ago and it initially
suffered from a lack of formal organization. There is a local group being

suggestions to be found here.

user: You are replying to Kelly Campbell about "SAR".

Write your reply.

assistant: In response to your message SAR (Search & Rescue) covers a lot more than
hiking.  Whenever someone or something is lost, SAR goes into effect.  There
are many organizations that are trained in different positions or jobs that
make up a search and rescue effort.  My organization, Civil Air Patrol, is
best known for its SAR efforts when an aircraft is missing (overdue).  Yes,
we have ground teams that support our air crews.  However, to operate a full
SAR operations, it take seventeen (17) actual positions on the ground to
support one or more aircraft in the air with a crew of three.  Don't think
that at any one time, we have that many people activated.  I have operated
many SAR operations where the staff was wearing more than one hat.  The most
effective person at a SAR is the one who is trained and qualified in more
than one area.  Other organizations that participated in SAR operations are
"Search Dog Teams, Water rescue, Rappelling teams, paramedics just to name a
few.  From time to time it can take the combined efforts of all organizations
to effect an operation.
As an added thought, during the California earthquake two years ago, our
organization suppled one hundred and eighty (180) members each day to support
the disaster.  Very little of that support was in the Air.  Our main support
was for the American Red Cross.  I was there.
I hope this give you a little background into SAR.  Welcome further questions
on the BBS area.

Write your reply.

assistant: I am refering to the art of mantracking.  it appears through your
response that you are into tracking with dogs.  do you have an air scent
dog or a trailing -bloodhound-?  I just recently worked a search for a
possible suicide/drowning where I tracked what i felt was the woman to
the waters edge and it appeared that the person jumped into the water.
a couple hours later the spot i identified was confirmed by a bloodhound
from a nearby correctional facility.  the problem---the air scent dogs
in the boats were hitting on something upstream from that point.  if you
have air scent dogs could you please answer the question on just how
effective and reliable an air scent dog is in an urban enviroment?  the
search i am refering to was on the edge of a town and i have to wonder
if the dogs werent hitting on scent from the neighborhood and not
something in the water.  she was found on the 3rd day of the search
approximately 0.75 miles down stream.  any response would be great!

assistant: if your not in search and rescue, get into it!  it is the one thing that
i enjoy nomatter what the situation.  i have been in search and rescue
only 3.5 years--when i took my first class. didnt really get into it
until a year and a half ago.  i have been on some searches where the
person was never found and have been on some where they were but no
matter what the outcome i have always learned more than anyone could
ever teach me.  so, you have a dog...seen both the good and bad side of
dogs on searches...seen where they found the person and seen where they
have taken the search in the wrong direction.  i personally feel that
there is definately a place for dogs in SAR as long as the handler has
some idea of what SAR is about...its not the dogs fault when the handler
does something wrong.  i have focused my attention towards mantracking.
not alot of it done around here..just a couple of others besides me who
even do it on searches.  takes alot of patience and practice..if you
dont use it you do loose it..good luck with the dog....if you want more
info on upcoming mantracking classes i would be glad to get some info to
you....
take care
