I've been seeing a lot of posts here lately regarding mountain rescue, and the area that I'm originally from doesn't have many mountains. I'm thinking of moving when I get home(in November, if all goes according to plans.), and am interested in doing some research on mountain rescue. If someone could point me at some resources outlining the basics of how the operations are conducted, the treatment on-scene, how you get to the location, etc.
My sister lives in Arizona, and in her area I believe most of the rescue is all through the Fire Dept, who covers fire/ems. Does that seem to be the case in almost all areas?
