Every member of the unit took a CPR class to meet our goal. Everymember was to be certified by the end of 2008! Good Job

Firth River Bridge- Summer 2008

To be prepared for river situations practicing in the river is essential. The river has a very strong current and is very dangerous if you are not familiar with it. However, the river can change everyday and you still need to be cautious when on it. Every year we try to spend at least one night a week practicing in the river.

Sit back and Relax!! BBQ summer of 2008

As a Search and Rescue member I can honeslty say that I have never been blessed with such an awesome group of people as friends! We are a group that loves to have fun and laugh, but when its time to get down to business the joking stops and its time to get to work! I am so proud to be a member of this group, and I have everyone of you to thank for that! So THANK YOU!

These are some pictures of a BBQ at the Kluvers house, after one of the many trainings we are involved in. We love to get together as a group and enjoy each others company where we dont have to be so serious.

Firth River Dive Summer 2008

This was the summer of 2008. We do many river dives every year to keep our training up! The first time we dove in the river a couple of the members located several stolen guns,toolboxes, tools, golf balls and clubs along with many other things.

Jeep Recovery - June 2008

Last summer a member of Search and Rescue was kayaki down the river near McTucker ponds and notice there very tip top of this jeep. He called another member who is also a deputy with the Sheriffs office. We spent most of an afternoon lugging ropes and chains across the river (divers pulled them across) and hooking them to the jeep. Once we got it to the side using a wrecker, one of the officers went and got his tractor- which still didnt budge the jeep. We finally got it out but what a mess it was inside by that time. These are the only pictures i could find for now! I know i have more so i will post them as soon as i can find them

Pride Days 2008- John "The Man" Kluvers

This is our wonderful commander - June 2008! This is at the snowmachine races during
pride days! I didnt think snowmachines were supposed to go under water!

Pride Days June 14,2008

Over the past few years Bingham County Search and Rescue was asked to assist with the snowmachine races during Blackfoot Pride Days. The divers from our unit will assist when the snowmachines sink, by going and hooking the sleds upto Jet skis using rope. The Skis then pull the sleds into shore while a diver rides them across the bottom to keep them from tipping over. Last year we decided to do a fundraiser in conjunction with Pride days and we made out pretty well. We will be doing one again this year on June 13, so keep your datebooks open!! Enjoy these pictures from last years event!

Radar- hooking up the ropes for the divers to use! What a nice lookin boat we have!

These are some pictures of the Marine Deputies on the new skis. They are there to pick up the snowmachine rider, as well as haul the sled to shore! They are enjoying it way to much!



Shawn Humpherys



At the starting line, all sleds start on the far east side of Jensens Grove. The winner is declared by the first on to the shore on the other side. Each year there are approx 10-15 sleds that sink.





The first of many!



I have more pictures but the computer wont let me post any right now! I will post more later!
