North Shore Search and Rescue


Season 2 North Shore Search and Rescue aired this week on the Knowledge Network.  If you didn't see Season 1, it's being replayed on the Knowledge Network this Saturday at 4PM.   We loved the first season and I read it gets 8.9 on IMDb.  

Season 2 started with a North Shore Search operation in Abbotsford during the 2021 floods.  It showed them rescuing people from homes that were stranded.   Near the end of the show they rescued a heart attack victim on top of a mountain!  They long lined him to a helicopter off the mountain and flew to a helicopter base at the Port of Vancouver, with an ambulance waiting so he could get to VGH asap.  The rescuers were medical professionals that volunteer their time.  At the end of the episode, one of his rescuers went to his home and they had a reunion!   

The members are all volunteers and are called out 24/7 to rescue people hurt or lost in the north shore mountains.  They are all true heroes!
