Yamhill County Search And Rescue

June is Search and Rescue Month!

This month, we recognize and celebrate the dedicated volunteers who make search and rescue possible.

We are grateful for the commitment, professionalism, and hard work our volunteers demonstrate year-round. Whether responding to emergencies, training to sharpen their skills, or supporting mission readiness, their dedication makes a difference.

Thank you to all of our search and rescue volunteers for your service, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to helping others. We appreciate everything you do! ⛑️🪢⛰️🧭

A huge thank you to everyone who helped with the Bald Mountain cleanup yesterday! Your hard work, dedication, and willingness to pitch in made a tremendous difference, and we truly could not have accomplished it without your support.

Special thanks to Polk County Search and Rescue, Mishler Towing, Bureau of Land Management, Yamhill County Search and Rescue, Recology, Les Schwab Tire Center, SOLVE, Troop 270, and YC Cadets!

Your teamwork, equipment, resources, and volunteer spirit helped make the project a success. We are grateful for each and every one of you and for your commitment to keeping Bald Mountain clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy. Thank you! 👏🌲♻️

Tonight was a proud and exciting moment for our Search and group as our newest academy students were officially sworn in by Sheriff Elliot. We are incredibly grateful for each of these individuals who have chosen to dedicate their time, energy, and commitment to serving our community.

These folks have already invested countless hours in training, learning critical rescue skills, teamwork, and preparedness — and this is only the beginning of their journey. Their willingness to step up and serve speaks volumes about their character and dedication.

We are excited to welcome them to the Search and Rescue family.

Congratulations to each of our new members on this important milestone, and thank you for your commitment to helping others when they need it most. 🚨👏
