Bimaajitoon Search & Rescue

Our training yesterday brought members together to review search patterns, radio communications, and risk assessments done before/during operations.

We finished off the day with a scenario combining our newly certified Project Lifesaver team members, and a search for a subject around a water body. Our Operations Manager and Safety Officer were able to keep an eye on the teams from there staging area. The mock subject was located, packaged, and one of our members swapped in for the Mule ride back out. These sessions help our team maintain response readiness year round.

UPDATE: Subject was located, the team has stood down. Thanks to our partners of Anishinabek Police Service and Wasauksing First Nation Administration Fire Department for their assistance

Our team is currently responding to the area of Wasauksing First Nation to assist with a missing person callout

Members will be out in the area of the Carling Community Center this Sunday from 9am-3pm for our monthly training session. An increased presence of searchers may be seen during our practical exercises and scenarios.

We’re excited to attend Parry Sound Public School Spring Carnival alongside other community organizations, taking place tonight from 5pm-7pm. Members will be there showing off some equipment and sharing more about the team, hope to see you there!
