96. ‘Utah County Search and Rescue’ and Answering the Call for Help (with volunteer, Deb Yokshas)
Manage episode 479889307 series 3460671
Deb Yokshas is a volunteer with Utah County Search and Rescue, who handle all outdoor search and rescue operations in the county. Not only is their team of rescuers 100% volunteer, but they also each pay thousands of dollars of their own money to be certified and have the right personal gear. These are people who are committed on a whole new level to helping and serving in their community.
Deb tells some great stories in this podcast about some of her experiences (I think she’s the kind of person you would love to talk to at a party and just listen to all the stories she has to share). She also talks about her own journey of joining Search and Rescue and the skills it takes to be part of the team.
I promise after listening to this episode you will want to personally go find a first responder volunteer in your community and thank them for the good and tireless work they do!
