RCMSAR 106 Shuswap
Mission Data
Our missions range from medical emergencies and evacuations, search and rescue of missing swimmers and boaters, boat incidents (mechanical failures, accidents, sinking’s, etc.) and any other incidents on or around our lakes. We attend to residences which are water access only as well as locations on the lake where our vessels are quicker that would be an ambulance by road. Most often, we transport BC Ambulance Service paramedics for the medical emergencies.
