Search and Rescue perform community outreach

KCSO SAR Team Members George Mulleneix, Michael Schaaf, and Vicky Jack

KLAMATH COUNTY, Ore. - Klamath County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team members spent Friday, July 3, 2020, performing community outreach on Mt. McLaughlin. KCSO SAR members talked with hikers, distributed water, and helped educate people on the need to be prepared when hiking the area.

“Public education is vitally important,” said KCSO SAR Commander Brian Bryson. “The conditions on Mt. McLaughlin can change rapidly and can catch people off guard if they’re unprepared.”

Bryson continues, ”be aware that the bridge from the upper parking lot is out and to use caution.”

In addition, KCSO SAR Team members Michael Schaaf, George Mulleneix, Vicky Jack, and Alden Goebel also worked to clear the trails of deadfall trees. This effort was in cooperation with Jackson County Search and Rescue, who performed community service work on July 4th and 5th.
