San Dimas Mountain Rescue Team

                            Is Looking For A Few Good Mountaineers

Find adventure. Serve your community.

Apply as a volunteer mountaineer with the San Dimas Mountain Rescue Team.

If you’re interested in an exciting, rewarding and challenging way to give back to your community, the San Dimas Mountain Rescue Team may be just what you’re looking for.

The team will be hosting an informational meeting for volunteer mountaineer applicants Wednesday, February 24, 2016, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, February 27, 2016, at 8:00 a.m. The meeting will be at the Mountain Rescue Station, 114 East First Street in San Dimas.

The San Dimas Mountain Rescue Team searches for and rescues missing, trapped and injured hikers; rescues vehicle accident victims in the mountains; assists with evacuations during forest fires and floods, and participates in many other rescue situations. Members of the team are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to help people who visit the mountain areas of Eastern Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Mountains.

Founded in 1955, the team is comprised of all volunteers -- highly trained and motivated men and women dedicated to saving others. Team members continuously train in search and tracking, mountaineering, climbing, rappelling, map and compass usage, helicopter extraction and other types of evacuation techniques, snow and ice rescue, swift-water rescue, and more. The team is part of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Each member also becomes a reserve deputy sheriff, and is trained as a certified Emergency Medical Technician.

No experience is needed and all training is provided. Mountaineer volunteers must be at least 21 years old, in good health, be a full-time student or have steady employment, and able to pass a background investigation.

An application and complete list of qualifications is available on the SDMRT website. You can RSVP for the informational meeting online at www.sdmrt.com/joinus.htm.
