The Sheriff’s Department has obtained the Heartbar Training Facility for the department’s Search and Rescue training. Our ultimate goal is to open the facility for every Sheriff’s S&R Team to utilize the grounds for all types of search and rescue training throughout each year.
We need help in cleaning and repairing the facility and are calling for all SAR volunteers to help out. Please pitch in on this special occasion in cleaning, repairing and developing your training facility.
This will be the second (Hopefully we will finish!) day of cleaning and repairing and we could use the help!
WHEN
Saturday, August 25th, 2012 0800-1500 hours.
The facility is available on this occasion for overnight stays. Morongo Mounted S&R unit has reserved the facility and will be staying there over the weekend, however there should be room for all S&R volunteers that wish to stay.
