ACSSAR Members Assist in Search for Downed Aircraft
Members Thad Hoff, Chris Cleven, John Leazenby and John Yelton assisted the Albany County Sheriff, NTSB, and other official agencies in the location and recovery of a small aircraft which crashed in the Snowy Range near Brown's Peak. This was the first field test for the "Mule," the trailer purchased last January and outfitted as a command center and supply station. The Mule was very functional, well received and, as with any field test, some small items still need to be addressed.
ACSSAR's annual meeting and election of officers and board will be held on March 27, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse in Laramie. Any member wishing to run for any position is urged to contact Mike Carrick at 742-3873.
The Vedauwoo Volunteer Fire Department is having an open house, barbeque and silent auction to raise money for a fire house. From the Vedauwoo exit on I-80 (milepost 329) go South to old highway 30 (frontage road), then go West and look for the fire engines and signs. The property is located within a mile to a mile and a half from the Vedauwoo Interchange. 11:00 am to 4:00 p.m. Help out our fellow responders.
The CPR for the Professional Rescuer, tentatively scheduled for September 9, will be rescheduled when the instructor books are brought current through the Red Cross.
This will be in conjunction with the table top exercise done at the April 25 meeting. Times to be announced. Good opportunity to test your tracking, mapreading and GPS skills.
