Headwaters Search and Rescue K9
Emergency Contact Information 1.800.472.7290

Emergency Contact

Our emergency 800—number is staffed 24 hours a day by dispatch professionals at the Vilas County Sheriff's Dept. On recieving a call from a law enforcement agency or an emergency management official, Headwaters Search and Rescue K9 dispatches qualified search management personnel and dog teams to a staging area near the search site.

Using standard incident command protocols and working in concert with search management officials, we deploy teams to look for the missing subject or subjects. Depending on the needs of the managing agency, HSAR operations can integrate completely into the command structure or work independently with our own operations and logistics, base operations and communications.

HSAR has experienced operations staff that utilize US Forestry Service search strategies to locate missing subjects.
