The Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue (SCVSAR) Helicopter Rescue Team (HRT) is an “all hazard” response team that conducts more than 80 missions per year throughout the Pacific Northwest.

We respond to emergency situations when the nature of the injury or terrain requires extraction by air. We bring life-saving equipment, rescue personnel and paramedics directly to our patients to help reduce disability and improve their chances for survival.
We serve our community in the following ways:

Search: Using thermal imaging (FLIR), we can search for missing children and Alzheimers patients in urban environments. In the wilderness, our helicopters are essential to finding lost hikers, hunters and campers.
Rescue: We can evacuate stranded swimmers, climbers or snowmobilers from inaccessible terrain by rescue hoist or by utilizing the short haul method.
Transport: For mass casualty incidents (aircraft accidents, landslides or a bridge collapse), we can rapidly deliver patients to definitive care using a 3 litter system or AirTEP device.
Fire Fighting: For fires that threaten life or structures, we rely on two 250 gallon “FAST” buckets for fire suppression.
Command & Control: In addition to relaying radio transmissions to the Department of Emergency Management, we are equipped with a Video Downlink System that can be used to send live video straight to the command centers.
