Arrowsmith Search & Rescue 

now working with Project Lifesaver.

Project Lifsaver is a programme to track and rescue seniors and others with cognitive issues who tend to wander away from their homes.  The client is fitted with a wristwatch sized transmitter set up with its' own unique frequency.  If the person wanders away, their caregiver can notify the RCMP, who in turn call Arrowsmith SAR.  We then respond using a special tracking receiver, which picks up the signal that is constantly transmitted from the person's wristband.

The service will be available in late November.  Families and caregivers can contact D'Arcy Falkiner at 250-594-5488 for information on signing up their loved ones.

You can also contact Project Lifesaver at 1-877-580-5433, or visit them at their website, www.projectlifesaver.org

 

More information coming soon.

ASAR Vehicles

 Equipment Truck:

Our equipment truck is a 1997 Ford F150 4x4, generously donated to us by B.C. Hydro.

We have added a custom aluminum box to increase storage capacity.

 

Mobile Command Centre:

Our new Mobile Command Centre has been in service for about a year and a half, and we finally got the interior cabinetry installed!

See below for some pictures of the interior. 

The box is approx. 21 ft long on the inside, by 8 ft wide, with a 7'-6" ceiling.  There is a 7500 watt diesel generator installed, along with a 3000 watt inverter. 

 The chassis is a 2008 GMC Topkick C6500, with a CAT diesel engine.
