Rescue 3 is a specialized, private Search & Rescue team. We support pre-scheduled motor sports events in Southern California. The majority of our current events are desert dirt-bike races, but the team also supports grand prix races, buggy races, dual sport rides, and other special events from time to time.
The members of Rescue 3 have specialized skills which are valuable to many kinds of off-road motor sports events in Southern California.
First and foremost, all members have current First-Aid and CPR certifications. The team also contains many EMTs, as well as other certified medical providers, such as RNs, and those with military and ski-patrol medical experience.
Secondary to medical skill is what makes Rescue 3 stand out from other groups; off-road logistical capabilities. For any given event, Rescue 3 brings a Command Post trailer, a dedicated Radio Relay, several 4x4 trucks, and a host of rapid-response teams on dirt bikes and quads. All personnel carry professional public-service grade radio equipment, and all teams are GPS-enabled. This equipment is supplemented by the off-road experience of our members; experience required to safely and quickly traverse the harsh desert terrain of the Mojave Desert. Most members have extensive experience riding dirt bikes in the Southern California deserts, and know the terrain from memory. The combination of our equipment and experience enables us to search for, and rescue, trauma patients, much quicker than government agencies. We can then coordinate transfer of patients to medical facilities, by ground ambulance or airship, as required.
Lastly, there are two things Rescue 3 has that many other groups do not; enthusiasm, and a drive for improvement. Because Rescue 3 is staffed by dedicated volunteers, who bear considerable personal expense, we love what we do. Also, because we come from the off-road community, we feel a commitment to our fellow racers, riders, drivers, and their families.
Members of Rescue 3 appear in the photo above, with a flight crew of professionals from Mercy Air. An informal partnership between the two groups has resulted is faster response times for patient transports. Rescue 3 could not ask for a better air ambulance provider.
We look forward to working with your organization in the future!
Sincerely,
The Rescue 3 Team
