Napa County Search and Rescue

We work throughout Napa County and its environs, upon request by the County Sheriff’s office or the California Office of Emergency Services (OES). Our volunteers train 15-25 hours monthly as a team so we are ready to deploy immediately when needed. Annually, we donate over 3,600 hours of effort in searches and training.

We supply all our own personal rescue equipment and SAR team equipment without financial support from the Sheriff’s office or the County, and work at no charge to those in need. We have found lost children, at-risk adults, and lost hikers; we rescue people from all walks of life who find themselves lost, stuck, or endangered. Our services frequently save lives. Even when we have the difficult experience of finding people who are no longer living, search and rescue teams take comfort in the knowledge that families can move forward in the grieving process as a result of our efforts.
