In Case of Emergency Call 911
Two local individuals are thankful for not having to spend a dark, lonely night in the snow-covered mountains.
Late Saturday, Vernon Search and Rescue was contacted by the RCMP to assist with two snowmobilers stuck in the Sugar Lake area.
As VSAR teams mobilized, communication with the subjects through cell phone was established, and they were encouraged to stay with their machine and await rescue.

New Year's Eve Present... Rescued children home safe!
Vernon Search & Rescue ground search teams were happy to help track, locate and rescue two young boys in the Westside community. The two brothers, aged 6 and 8 had walked into the first to find marshmallow sticks, when they got lost after wandering after a deer. The frigid -18 celcius temperatures contributed to the difficulty and the urgency of the search.
