KSAR on track for record year despite quiet summer
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Search and Rescue is closing in on a record year.
“Definitely it’s been the busiest year so far,” said Search Manager Alan Hobler. “We’re currently at 35 call outs for the year, and 39 is our highest year ever, so we’re only four call outs from beating our record.”
Hobler says it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what is driving those numbers.
“We’ve been seeing more and more frequent call outs, and it’s really hard to attribute that to any one thing,” he said, adding, “we get called out for a whole variety of things, and it changes. Some seasons are busy, some aren’t.”
