WE SERVE, SO OTHERS MAY LIVE
Skagit County Explorer Search and Rescue (ESAR) is a volunteer based, community oriented Rescue unit that has been saving lives for over 35 years. ESAR provides irreplaceable services to Skagit County and Washington State. Overseen by the Skagit County Sheriff's Office, ESAR has become the backbone of the Search and Rescue community in Skagit County.
The primary mission of Skagit County Explorer SAR is the location, treatment, and
evacuation of lost and injured persons that are in locations or situations
outside of the capability of conventional rescue services. Although wilderness
searching for lost hunters, hikers, and recreationers makes up the bulk of our
callouts, we are trained to respond to many different types of incidents.
We are called to evacuate injured climbers on Mount Baker; assist in flood
fighting efforts around the county; locate crucial evidence in homicide cases
for local Law Enforcement; as well as other types of incidents.
Skagit County Explorer Search and Rescue is now accepting applications for membership. Please review our training schedule, fill out an application, and attend an orientation meeting on
Wednesday, September 10th or September 17th @ 6:00pm at the Search and Rescue Command Center in Burlington if you are interested.
You MUST be able to pass a background check from the Skagit County Sheriff's
Office to be considered for membership.
