About Us
The Iron County Sheriff Search and Rescue is a non-profit, fully volunteered arm of the Iron County Sheriff’s Office who donates services and time for the exclusive commitment of helping anyone in need.
ICSSAR is the little-known extension of law enforcement working in the background. The team is trained to handle lost persons with the same expertise as the evacuation of plane crashes.
Volunteers are also trained to handle crowd and traffic control along with medical training and hazardous material handling allowing us to assist in any emergency situation that may arise.
Every member provides their own personal vehicle, uniforms, personal equipment and expense money to be able to help their neighbors. It would not be bragging to say the team spends thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours away from their families to provide services to the community. Each member knows this when joining and are glad of the sacrifices they make for our fellow man. It is a service needed and provided for. The team asks no personal gain except for a smile and ‘thank you’ of anyone that is helped.
ICSSAR asks that any person or organization who is able to donate to team goals of maintaining search and rescue equipment that are always in need of maintenance and repairs – such as snow mobiles, four wheelers, and rescue and climbing equipment to reach out. Donations are accepted in the form of cash, check, or Venmo as well.
Volunteers stand ready to provide these services at a moment’s notice and remain always grateful for any assistance.
