Most people don't know this, but Ontario has several Volunteer SAR teams.
I am very surprised I didn't get a call on this. The OPP must think they have things under control. Or the OPP officer in-charge has something against volunteers.. That happens a lot . The OPP is very very hesitant to call in volunteers, even if they are highly trained, and certified.
Hey Billy Bob, volunteer firefighters in Ontario, at least the ones I've worked with, are not trained enough as they should be in Ground SAR. They are great in the water, and ice, but when it comes to bush whacking, not so much.
Ontario is a little messed up when it comes to utilizing willing volunteers.
