Thank You for supporting us in 2023!

The members of The San Dimas Mountain Rescue Team want to send a special thanks to those who have supported our efforts with donations and support this year and in past years. Monetary and in-kind support of all sizes and types from organizations and individuals near and far make a difference in our ability to perform our life-saving mission.

In the past year, support for fundraisers like our San Dimas Car Show Pancake Breakfast, as well as donations large and small, gifts-in-kind and generous grant support have supported our operational ability and allowed us to replace aging equipment with newer-generation equipment. Thanks again to those individuals and organizations who helped make a positive impact on many lives.

Enjoy Nature - Plan your Hike by filling out the Sheriff's Department's Hiking Plan Sheet.

Hiking/Camping is a fun way to get family and friends together to enjoy the outdoors, and to get some physical activity. However, you should always be prepared for the unexpected. You should tell family and friends what your plans are and provide a list of who will be going with you.

That's why the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department would like to remind the residents of Los Angeles County that having a hiking/camping plan is crucial to survival in case of an emergency.

Before you leave, please fill out Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Search and Rescue - Hiking Plan sheet and provide to a loved one to hold onto just in case something happens to a member of your hiking/camping expedition. You can download the form by visiting http://file.lacounty.gov/lasd/cms1_163961.pdf

If you would like more information on how to prepare for your hiking / camping trip, please visit the Center for Disease Control's camping website
