Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad
The Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad (KVRS) is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that was established in 1950 in response to a plane crash near the airport on Annette Island. Dedicated to conducting wilderness search, rescue, and recovery missions in the southeast region of Alaska, KVRS relies on the commitment of its volunteers who selflessly donate their time and expertise to save lives and protect property in the community of Ketchikan. With a vision of creating a safe environment for work and play, KVRS strives to be an innovative and well-equipped organization, upholding the standards and ideals set by its founding members. Through tax-deductible donations, KVRS is able to provide critical aid by investing in training, equipment, and infrastructure, ensuring their readiness to respond to those in need.Generated from the website
