Overview of Summit to Sound
Summit to Sound is a Search & Rescue organization based in Whatcom County, Washington. Summit to Sound is a member of the Whatcom County Search & Rescue Council, and is one of the most diverse units in Whatcom County. Summit to Sound consists of several specialty groups, including the Dog Group, the Ground Group, the Technical Water Rescue Group, the Horse Group, the ATV Group, Communications, and EMS. Some members carry other rescue credentials, such as EMTs, low-angle rescue, and more. Each group within Summit to Sound trains to an exceptional level within their specialty, in addition to the basic requirements of a good SAR responder. Summit to Sound responds to missions in Whatcom County, mutual aid calls in Washington State, and has responded to mutual aid requests in British Columbia, Canada. Search & Rescue is called upon by the Sheriff’s Department, but is an all-volunteer organization. We rely on the generosity of the community for donations to keep the organization equipped with trained personnel to respond to emergencies in Whatcom County. |
