🚨 SEARCH & RESCUE SAFETY TIP OF THE DAY! 🧭🌲

This is one of the busiest times of the year for hikers and campers! 🍂 Before heading into the woods, remember to:

🦺 Wear bright colors so you’re easier to spot.
💧 Carry extra water to stay hydrated.
📣 Bring a whistle to signal for help.
📱 Start with a fully charged phone and consider carrying a backup power bank.

⚠️ DON’T LET A FUN OUTING TURN INTO AN EMERGENCY! Tell someone where you’re going, stick to marked trails, and let them know when you expect to return.

BE PREPARED. HIKE SMART. PUT SAFETY FIRST! If you get lost or find yourself in danger, call 911 when possible. A few simple precautions can make all the difference—and help ensure we bring you home safely! 🚁

September 11, 2001 🇺🇸

Some moments change history. Others leave a mark on our hearts forever.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families left behind, and the countless lives forever changed.

While others ran from danger, brave men and women ran toward it—risking everything to save someone else.

We remember their courage. We honor their sacrifice. We carry their memory in our hearts.

Time may pass, but we will never forget the lives that were taken, the heroes who never came home, or the families who still carry their absence. Their courage lives on in the hearts of those who remember.

🇺🇸 Forever in our hearts. Forever honored. Never forgotten.

In Memory of SGT. Bruce Hedrick

We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our squad leaders, SGT. Bruce Hedrick.

Bruce was an incredible asset to this organization and truly loved what we do. He always had a smile on his face, a way of making people laugh, and a willingness to jump in wherever he was needed to get the assignment completed—no matter the circumstances.

Whether we were out in the field training or searching for a missing loved one, Bruce always had a strong head on his shoulders. He never wanted to stop until the mission was complete and our goal had been reached.

Bruce had a heart for helping others—his family, his friends, and, most of all, his team members. Ohio LandSAR meant so much to Bruce, and his heart was always full of life, compassion, and dedication to those around him.

Bruce, you can rest now. You gave everything you had to help others and to serve your team.

We’ll take it from here.

Rest easy, SGT. Bruce Hedrick. You will never be forgotten. 💙

We kindly ask that the family be given time and space to grieve privately and not be contacted during this difficult time. Thank you for your understanding and respect.
