Jackson County Sheriff's Office Looking for Search & Rescue Team Volunteers

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue (SAR) Team assisted with the SkiMo Summit Race last weekend at the Mount Ashland Ski Area.

SAR was staged on the west side of Mount Ashland as well as the Grouse Gap area to assist with any injuries during the race.

SAR volunteers took the opportunity to do side-training while on standby, which included skiing skills, winter fire building and avalanche safety.

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office is looking for Search & Rescue volunteers.

If you are interested in joining the SAR Team, go to the Sheriff's Office website, search for SAR volunteer and fill out the form. Visit "jacksoncountyor.gov."
