Old VSAR truck in need of a new home
Vernon Search and Rescue is selling one of its older vehicles, and is hoping it can go to a place to someone or a group who can put it to use.
In a Facebook post, Vernon Search and Rescue (VSAR) said it’s selling the Initial Response Truck, a 2006 F350 diesel crew cab, that is being replaced with a newer model vehicle.
“The Initial Response Truck has served us for a number of years and we needed to upgrade our vehicle, we needed something that would be just a little bit better in getting into the bush and carrying the gear that we need now for more advanced searches,” Trevor Honigman, VSAR’s Search Manager, told Vernon Matters.
“Over the last number of years we’ve been doing fundraising and working with supporters in the community to build a new truck, and that is almost finished and once that comes back and we’re ready to switch then we’re going to be swapping over.”
