ESCAMBIA SEARCH AND RESCUE (ESAR)
... so others may live.
Our Creed
Reverence for life affords us our basic humility and speeds us on our missions at any hour, whatever the conditions, without regard for personal comfort.
ESAR Divisions — Organized for Any Mission

From the water to the field to behind-the-scenes coordination, every division plays a critical role in bringing people home safely.

One Team, One Mission
Each division has a specific role—but no mission is handled alone.
