This career we have chosen is an honorable and rewarding one, but there many sacrifices and risks we take along the way. We wish Nathan the best in his ongoing recovery and future endeavors!

A recent drill from our USAR members. Our USAR teams attends additional training throughout the year to stay up to date and ready for any of our rescues in the county. Bishop’s peak provides a great location for them to utilize rope systems and other skills needed when there’s an open space incident. Remember to stay hydrated and bring a buddy when you’re out hiking, climbing, or riding this summer!
