Emergency Services Budgets
5 years ago
The next time you want to go to a city or town council meeting and complain that there is know reason that rope or other common things bought for use by emergency services should cost so much when you can buy "The same thing" at the local hardware store for a few bucks. Think about just what is on the end of the line or tool. If that doesn't work then watch this video of a public safety professional doing a rescue on the northern end of the Appalachian Trail.

Bet he will Zip-tie it next time.
I will be working "Baxter Park Response Weekend" with Dirigo Search and Rescue the weekend of July 24th.
Hoping people play safe, but if this past weekend is any indication, we might be busy.
Dirigo SAR is all volunteer and recieves no funding from the state. Those of us that are going to be working there that weekend will be paying for our own meals and likely providing our own shelter since we still aren't sure about using the cabins with this whole 'social distance' thing.
