York Sunbury Search and Rescue
Description
York Sunbury Search & Rescue (YSSR) is one of ten ground search and rescue (SAR) teams within the province of New Brunswick. We are comprised strictly of volunteers who take pride in serving York, Sunbury, Queens and Northumberland counties.
YSSR was founded in 1983 to assist the local policing authorities in search and rescue activities. The group commenced operations with minimal equipment and a few members trained in search and rescue techniques. Over the years YSSR has been involved in numerous SAR operations ranging from finding lost children, individuals, Alzheimer patients and downed aircraft, to searching for evidence at major crime scenes. Today, we are a well-equipped team with a membership averaging 65 persons.
Since 1995, volunteer members of the New Brunswick Ground Search and Rescue Association Inc. (NBGSARA) have reported in excess of 31,000 person-hours responding to calls searching for lost or missing persons in New Brunswick. Additionally 5000 person-hours were reported responding to evidence searches associated with criminal cases.
