San Bernardino County Sheriff�s Department BEAR VALLEY SEARCH & RESCUE TEAM Sheriff Gary Penrod
The Bear Valley Search & Rescue Team is comprised of 26 dedicated men and women, who quickly respond to distress calls. Rescue missions are usually in the San Bernardino Mountain wilderness, at any time of day or night, in any kind of weather, to search for lost hikers, skiers, stranded travelers or downed aircraft. The team focuses on protecting Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City, Fawnskin and the other communities that make up the Big Bear Valley area. They have also assisted in missions on Mt. Baldy, Mt. San Gorgonio., Yosemite and San Diego.
The Search & Rescue Training includes: First-Aid, CPR, physical conditioning, GPS skills, overnight �bivys� (summer and winter), ice ax arresting and vertical skills rope work including ascending and belaying. The extensive instruction is required of all new recruits previous to joining the team, as well as attending the monthly meetings.
Each member is responsible to acquire and maintain his or her own rescue equipment including backpacks, sleeping bags, First-Aid kits, rope and rescue gear. This 24-hour pack weights 50 to 65 lbs and has an initial investment of approximately $3,000 per team member. When the call goes out for a search, they �do not leave home without it.�

The Big Bear Team is a volunteer organization, it relies on donations to acquire equipment such as snowmobiles, quads, GPS�S litters, and ELT�s for locating downed aircraft. It is necessary to have occasional fundraisers to purchase new vehicles and equipment. The �always ready� to respond and its strong commitment has earned the Bear Valley Search & Rescue Team its excellent status known throughout Southern California. -Click Images to Enlarge.
