This time of year, SARA--the all-volunteer Southern Arizona Rescue Association--is in the news regularly, conducting rescues as heat and flash floods overwhelm hikers. ClaireGrahamTV takes a look behind the scenes .
TUCSON, Ariz. -- — An expert search-and-rescue team in Pima County has geared up for its busiest season of the year. This all-volunteer group, however, needs the community's help to keep hikers and walkers safe.
SARA receives some funding from Pima County, but it mostly covers operations and training. That way, Di Miceli said, when disaster strikes, it's all systems go. In these situations, she said the Pima County Sheriff's Department will give them a call asking for their expertise. "We don't charge anything," Di Miceli said."Whether it's a helicopter rescue, a horseback ride-out, we carry them out or we stay the night with them and hike them out in the morning. It costs absolutely nothing."
