TUCSON, Ariz. — Nestled in Sabino Canyon is the Southern Arizona Rescue Association headquarters, where a team of dedicated volunteers spends their days ready to save others at a moment's notice.
The mission of SARA volunteers is to locate and assist lost or injured hikers in some of Southern Arizona's roughest terrain. "Having the skills and ability to help them out of that is very rewarding," she said."I really enjoy being able to hike with a purpose. Even those surprise hikes that come out in the middle of the night.""We’re seeing people who are injured or lost. As far as injuries go, leg injuries are very common," Dimiceli said."Also, people forgetting to bring a light source like a headlamp or a flashlight is very common as well.
"[We like] to educate hikers on what it means to hike safe. Make sure they have enough water, ask them if they have enough water. If they have enough snacks. Make sure they’re prepared for the hike they’re going on," said Dimiceli.
