The new facility has space for equipment storage and maintenance, including vehicles like this Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV), also known as a side-by-side. North Peace Search and Rescue have outfitted this model with durable tracks for snow and mud, with a rack inside capable of suspending a patient in a rescue basket stretcher. (Tom Summer/CBC)
That is a sweet looking machine. Must have cost quite a few dollars. Does North Peace SAR charge for rescues, because too often rescues are rescuing idiots who got themselves into trouble.
I was curious as well, this should be the funding information page?
https://www.npsar.ca/funding
That page only reflects NPSAR's situation.
I volunteer for CASARA, which is funded by the federal gov, military and some provincial. However, the ground crews and drone unit have different funding models. RCMP and BC provincial fund ground SAR, and drone unit for us is funded same as CASARA. Drone units in other areas are funded differently.
