Rocky Mountain House Volunteer Search and Rescue (Rocky SAR) is a dedicated group of volunteers trained in the skills and techniques of ground search and rescue. Some of the services that this group provides include ground search and rescue services, cliff and embankment rescue, assistance to emergency services, avalanche response trained snowshoe and ski search and rescue teams, emergency management trained personnel, and mutual aid to other jurisdictions.
