Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Who is gonna pay for the SAR?

I asked the question who should pay and added a link without making a comment.I can tell you this with all the city,county and state financial crises, more and more agencies are going to demand repayment by the rescued.Thank God we are blessed with SARs in Calif. that only care about rescuing and finding survivors before thay are casulties.I think it is a disturbing and growing trend to charge the rescued.
