 Deschutes County Search and Rescue is ready for a busy summer ahead. As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, bringing a large number of visitors to the area, Lieutenant Ty Rupert reminds people to use common sense while recreating. Wear appropriate shoes and other gear if hiking or biking. If you're out on the water, wear a life jacket and avoid alcohol. Deschutes County is Oregon's largest and busiest SAR team east of the Cascades.
