Who We Are
Founded in 1986, West Valley Search and Rescue (West Valley SAR) is a non-profit, all volunteer search and rescue team dedicated to saving lives by providing search and rescue operations and wilderness safety education to the citizens of San Bernardino County. As a fully-accredited member of the Mountain Rescue Association, the team also responds to emergencies throughout California and the United States. It is not unusual for us to called upon to assist our neighbors in San Diego and Riverside Counties, or to respond to a state-wide call for help that can bring us as far north as the Yosemite area, or as far south as the Mexican border.

In the course of a typical year, West Valley SAR responds to over 50 rescue missions, and its members contribute over 20,000 hours (500+ hours per member) of their personal time towards missions, trainings, public education and meetings. Whether it be the summit of Mount Baldy (10,064 feet), the hills of the front country, the desert or the urban environment, West Valley SAR responds to help those in need - at any time, in any weather, and for as long as it takes.

What We Desperately Need - We Need A List Of Gear To Help Us Successfully Perform Our Mission

The team's AED's have currently reached their expiration date and we need to purchase 3 new units. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.

We are looking for any support from the community to help us purchase these new AED's so we can continue to operate as the highly efficient team for which we are known across the State. We sincerely appreciate any support or donation you are able to provide. Thank you from The West Valley SAR Team
