Our missions encompass a wide spectrum of scenarios, including medical emergencies and evacuations, search and rescue efforts for missing swimmers and boaters, as well as incidents involving boats such as mechanical failures, accidents, and sinkings. We also respond to various other emergencies occurring in or around our lakes. Our services extend to water-accessible residences and locations on the lake where our vessels can provide faster assistance compared to road-bound ambulances. In many medical emergencies, we transport BC Ambulance Service paramedics to the scene for immediate assistance.
