There’s no feeling in the world like being the one to find a desperate, exhausted and lost hiker and provide them with the comfort they need.
Now, Oceanside residents will have a chance to see what’s involved in being one of the Arrowsmith Search and Rescue volunteers who once in a while get to have that feeling.
ASAR spokesperson Ken Neden said the group is holding an information night to give a taste of the life of a rescue team on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at their facility in the Hilliers fire hall on Highway 4, starting at 7 p.m.
Neden said the last time they began training new volunteers, over 60 people showed up, far more than the ideal 20 to 25, so they are holding the information session prior to starting the course, so people know what to expect.
