ERT SAR ONTARIO

Picture

We were officially formed in Ontario 10 years ago with ERTSAR (from the UK.)  However, we have been doing SAR and Emergency Response in Ontario since the late 1980s! Our Founders were Police Officers with a strong volunteering ethos.) 

In 2002 ERTSAR was founded Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire UK. (We started with the name Oxfordshire Search and Rescue but added the Emergency Response Team to not limit our work to only search and Rescue but other forms of life saving disaster and medical work as well as resilience and capacity building.) 

ERTSAR are closely attuned our local needs and sensitive to what is happening in our local communities. 

We live here. We work here. We are based and volunteer here. 

So, we are able to locally respond here. A lot of members are first responders and emergency services volunteers but that is not a requirement to join. 

We are based in the GTA and strong from Niagara to Haldimand to Mississauga to Ajax and north of Bracebridge. 

But we have deployed all over the world as a recognised medical and technical rescue asset coordinated by the United Nations and WHO.

​
Please Support us! :-) 
Our Founders were Ontario Police Officers before they were professional medics and NFPA Fire & Rescue / Tech Rescuers.
