Want To Help Powell County Search and Rescue?
There are several ways to do it!
Powell County Search & Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization working in the Red River Gorge Geological Area of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The volunteers of Search & Rescue spend hundreds of hours each year donating their time and talents to rescuing folks from cliffs and rugged terrain. Each rescue is unique and each person we rescue has a story to tell. We invite you to join with us in our mission of saving lives! You can become a valuable part of this effort by helping us accomplish what we are finding to be more and more difficult: funding these rescue missions from our own pockets.

Last Saturday, while on standby during The Rugged Red half marathon, members got together to train on our brand new Cascade Rescue Company litter. We also brought out the SMC Vector to practice setting it up and using it as an artificial high directional. With 25 certified rope rescue technicians on the team, we try to find a way to incorporate ropes into every meeting and training. “If you don’t use it, you lose it”.
With floods becoming more prevalent in Kentucky, it’s important to be prepared for water based rescues.
Huge shoutout to Middlefork Fire/Rescue for hosting us tonight and Jeremy Urekew with Red River Rescue for the instruction!
