Sierra Rescue is located in Taylorsville, California, and is specialised in the training of rescuers for extreme conditions. Courses deal with rescue in swift water, wilderness areas, rope training and rescue involving animals. Bespoke training is also available with specific courses designed to client demand.

Courses are aimed at operators who already have a certain level of experience in the field of technical rescue, so participants tend to be mainly firefighters, SAR (Search and Rescue) workers, who are used to operating in particularly difficult-to-reach areas, as well as coastguards, sheriffs and other people of authority.

Sierra Rescue boast 25 years’ experience and its courses are designed as an opportunity for perfecting and increasing one’s level of training.
