Rescue Truck - BCSSAR1
In September 2005, we were notified that we had received a $58,700 grant through the State of Idaho Emergency Medical Services Dedicated Funds Grant. This grant is funded through drivers license and vehicle registration fees.
The new truck replaces a 1989 Chevrolet S-10 that had been outgrown by the Search and Rescue. The new truck provides adequate space for five responders, and is capable of towing the unit's mobile command post, as well as the unit's two enclosed snowcats.
The new truck was officially placed in service on March 22, 2006.

Polaris Sportsman X2 800 EFI All-Terrain Vehicles
Special thanks to the CHC Foundation for their generous donation towards the purchase of two new Polaris Sportsman X2 800 EFI All-Terrain Vehicles. The two new ATVs will allow us to field additional dedicated ATVs during search missions, more rapidly field K-9 teams in remote areas accessible only by ATVs, and field the ambulance sled for extrications from remote locations to awaiting ground or air ambulances.
Yamaha Rhino 660
Special thanks to Bott Yamaha and the Yamaha Corporation for their generous donation of the use of a new Yamaha Rhino 660 as part of the Yamaha Law Loan Program. The utility vehicle has proven itself in several searches for fielding K-9 teams, as well as carrying large and heavy rescue equipment.
Mobile Command Post
The Pace America enclosed snowmobile trailer transforms from an enclosed snowmobile/ATV trailer to a full blown mobile command center when on scene. Fully equipped with UHF, VHF, Fleet Talk, and cellular comunications, a cook top (for the coffee and hot water), and of course, heat! Thanks to Adams Trailers, Trailers West, and Teton Communications for the help in getting this trailer operational.
Thiokol Spryte Snowcat
The larger of the two snowcats, this large over-the-snow vehicle
is equipped to transport patients to awaiting ground and air ambulances, as well
as serve as a search vehicle and a mobile radio platform.
Thiokol Super Imp Snowcat
The smaller of the two snowcats, this snowcat is a true
sportscar of snowcats. The vehicle is equipped to transport K-9 teams to
remote field locations, serves as a transport vehicle to transport patients to
awaiting ground and air ambulances, as well as serve as a mobile radio platform.
