Middle Creek Search & Rescue

Founded in 1994, Middle Creek Search & Rescue (MIDSAR) is dedicated to providing outstanding search and rescue services to our community. MIDSAR members are trained in grid searching techniques, map and compass skills, crime scene awareness, and interviewing methods. Many members continue their training to include managing search operations, SKYWARN (severe weather spotters for the National Weather Service), and amatuer radio licensing. Some team members choose to specialize in land navagation, emergency communications, search management, or wilderness first aid. While others train and certify their K9 for search and rescue work. Members with horses participate on the equine team.
