San Bernardino County sheriff seeking more reimbursement for rescue operations on Mount Baldy federal land
The San Bernardino County sheriff's department is hoping that new measures will help protect hikers and mountain climbers from going missing.The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is seeking assistance from federal partners in an attempt to reduce the number of search and rescue operations it needs to conduct - and pay for - on Mount Baldy.
"Sheriff Shannon Dicus is very concerned about the community, and them being injured, and the deaths involved that are happening up in Mount Baldy," said Deputy Chief John Walker with the sheriff's department. Walker referenced state legislation proposed last year that would have put some of the financial responsibility for rescues on the individuals who require emergency assistance, but said that legislation stalled.
That would also require more funding, as well as additional U.S. Forest Service personnel to enforce the permitting process. "The primary role of the Forest Service in search and rescue is to develop and maintain strong working relationships with state leadership. Whichever state, county, or local agency the state government has mandated responsible, that is the agency with primary responsibility for search and rescue activities on National Forests within that particular state.
