Ice Rescue Incidents From Lifesaving Resources Inc.

US training and consulting company “Lifesaving Resources Inc.” urges the public to keep pets on a leash and off the ice.

During the past several years, about 85% of the ice rescue incidents were triggered by Good Samaritans venturing out onto the ice in an attempt to rescue a pet, at which time conditions deteriorated resulting in an escalation to a human, and not just an animal rescue.

We encourage pet owners to keep pets on a leash and keep them off the ice.  Our principle operating philosophy is that NO ICE IS SAFE ICE!

If an animal is in danger on or through the ice, do NOT attempt to rescue the animal.  Call 911 and request a response from professionals that are trained and equipped for this type of emergency.

Make Life Easier for Canadian SAR Teams

Outdoor safety educator “AdventureSmart” urges Canadians to work together this season and give the search and rescue volunteers of Canada extra support. Get informed and get outdoors!

our approach

We believe training should be tailored to the specific needs of each client. While we teach all the skills and knowledge necessary for certification, we approach a course for emergency personnel in an entirely different manner than one for resource managers or outdoor guides.
