Fremont Search and Rescue provides its services, free of charge, to the entire county rendering emergency aid to all, 24 hours a day, whenever needed.
I appreciate you so much. I know and recognize that getting more people outside means more work for you...but I know you love the outdoors as much as I do and like to see people enjoying it (responsibly).

Fremont Search and Rescue is a volunteer, self-funded, non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, providing services to the 47,426 residents and visitors, in the 1,533 square miles of the county. We operate in all conditions and terrains encompassed within Fremont County, from the high altitude plains in the east, to the snow covered 13ers of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains in the west, including the Royal Gorge and the waters of the Arkansas River. Last year our approximately 29 members donated more then 8000 volunteer hours serving the community.
In just the past several years Fremont Search and Rescue has responded to 100's of missions, directly impacting the return of over 71 people to their family and friends. The missions have included; back-country search, rescues and extractions, river/water rescues and urban searches, including children and at risk adults. Most missions include patient medical support, until hand-off to definitive medical care.
Fremont Search and Rescue started as the Rescue Squad of the Royal Gorge CBer Radio Club in 1966. In late 1966 the Rescue Squad formed Fremont Search and Rescue as a separate entity and incorporated in 1967. In 2013 all members of FSAR were certified SARTECH II technicians of the National Association for Search and Rescue. In 2016, FSAR became a full accredited member of the Mountain Rescue Association.
