mudkow60 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 There was a thread on here a while back asking about civilian rescue operations. Here are some links of a recent rescue operation that I was humbled to participate in. My crew (and the others in the area) did a fantastic job. I am not trying to brag, just bring to light the civilian side of rescue operations.
