During National Search and Rescue Week, we thank the dedicated teams who work tirelessly—often in the most challenging conditions—to save lives and bring loved ones home.
Your courage, skill, and commitment do not go unnoticed, and we are grateful to have a strong, well-trained, and dedicated SAR Team in El Paso County!

We have had two missions on Barr Trail so far this week. On today’s mission, some of our newest members were able to field for the first time! We are so excited to welcome our newest class and are thrilled for our community to have more qualified rescue personnel you can count on.

Our team took on the Pine Creek Eagles Unified Basketball team last week! Don’t worry, we work much better together in the actual woods than we do on the hard wood! Luckily, we were able to showcase our true talents at the halftime dance party. Thanks for the opportunity, PC Unified. Until next year!
