Training with purpose. Ready when it matters most.

Yesterday, the Monterey County Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Team came together for their monthly training, focusing on heavy lifting operations and breaking and breaching techniques in confined spaces.

The recent tragedy in Venezuela served as a powerful reminder of the critical role USAR teams play during disasters. It reinforced the importance of continually sharpening these highly specialized skills so our personnel are prepared to respond whenever and wherever they are needed.

Training like this ensures our team remains ready to safely perform complex rescues in some of the most challenging environments.

Training for the moments that matter.

Today, members of the Monterey County Urban Search and Rescue Team sharpened their Helicopter Rescue Technician (HRT) skills alongside the California Highway Patrol Coastal Division during specialized training in Paso Robles.

Members practiced a variety of critical rescue scenarios, including hoist operations, hover step techniques, and the teamwork required to safely and efficiently support helicopter rescue missions. Opportunities like these strengthen coordination between agencies and ensure rescuers are prepared when every second counts.

A big thank you to the California Highway Patrol Coastal Division for hosting this valuable training and helping our team stay mission ready.
