MCSO-MR team members are climbers, cavers, mountaineers, and general backcountry adventurers who have answered the call to serve. Many have extensive military backgrounds, and the team also includes police officers, firefighters, engineers, guides, lawyers, paramedics, and physicians. Each team member maintains the fitness, skills, personal gear, and stamina to perform a continuous 36-hour shift in the backcountry. As volunteer SAR operatives, no one in Mountain Rescue receives a paycheck for their work. Each team member donates his or her time and effort in service to the community. We hold our monthly meetings at 6:30pm, the first Tuesday of every month. The meeting is held at the North Mountain Visitor Center located at 12950 N. 7th St. in Phoenix. If you would like to attend, please email us at info@mountainrescue.org to confirm the meeting time and place and let us know to expect you.
