VSAR purchases new truck, will have equipment fitted next

Vernon Search and Rescue (VSAR) is adding a new vehicle to its fleet.

In a social media post on Wednesday, the emergency service said their brand-new Ford 550 cab and chassis rolled into Vernon.

“This beauty is destined to become VSAR’s next command truck, stepping in to replace our old faithful that’s been serving us for the past 25+ years and which our operational needs have outgrown,” the group said in the post.

“Next stop: It will head down to Surrey to Intercontinental Truck Body, where it will be transformed with a custom-built command body. If all goes according to plan, you’ll see it in service in mid 2026—and we can’t wait to show it off.”
