In the past week, the volunteer group has responded to five rescues. âIt is a pretty busy start to the year,â said TRSAR Commander Bill Pitterle. The rescue season typically kicks off in May when the weather warms up and unprepared hikers find themselves in need of help because of dehydration. But recent warm temperatures meant things started sooner than normal. âWe had some warm weather come faster than normal,â he said. âIt caught a lot of people off-guard in terms of water.â Things kicked off Wednesday, March 31 with a call for help at Fossil Creek and ended Monday at Water Wheel with another injured hiker.
