Pincher Creek Joint Rescue Team Demonstration to be held May 4

The public is invited to a Pincher Creek Joint Rescue Team Demonstration between 10 am and 2 pm on Search and Rescue Day, Saturday May 4, the lead-in to Emergency Preparedness Week. We will be located beside the Pincher Creek Fire Hall and working off the Hewetson Avenue Bridge. 


A rope rescue team works with other emergency responders to help rescue people from steep or mountainous terrain, from vehicles that have gone off bridges or high banks, and from industrial structures. 

The Pincher Creek Joint Rope Rescue team combines resources from Pincher Creek Emergency Services and Pincher Creek Search and Rescue.

This team is looking to recruit and train new members. Come check it out and chat with their members.

You can also see these and other organizations at the end of  Emergency Preparedness Week activities on Friday, May 10 beside the Provincial Building. 

For further information, contact Brett Wuth at 627-2460 or wuth@acm.org.
