TMR – the Pioneering Advanced Life Support Mountain Rescue Unit
TMR is a classified ALS provider bringing full scope medical care to our patients in high angle and technical terrain in the Washington wilderness. We have 4 emergency physicians and paramedics working with TMRU, and another with Olympic Mountain Rescue. The goal is to have a network of wilderness trained physicians along the west coast of WA that can also provide mutual aid and improve our advanced medical coverage for all our missions. For more information and to sponsor this groundbreaking program visit www.mountainmedicine.us.
Tacoma Mountain Rescue is a Volunteer Charity.
Because TMR is a 100% volunteer 501(c)(3) charity with 0% admin costs we need just $20,000 per year to operate; providing search, rescue & recovery from Mt Adams to Mt Baker and mountain safety education throughout Washington State.
But to keep Tacoma Mountain Rescue running we do need to raise at least $20,000 a year – so we need you! Please donate online today or contact us about business sponsorship. On behalf of the next lives saved – thank you!
The Puyallup Tribe of Indians
An amazing group responsible for much of our life-saving equipment, search vehicles, gear, and operational funding.
The Ben Cheney Foundation
A long time supporter of Tacoma Mountain Rescue, the foundation has provided funds for both of our Rescue trucks.

These guys do more than deliver gas and electricity, their assistance in getting a second truck allows us to deliver people to where we are needed.

My husband and I used to be in Seattle Mountain Rescue. Many years ago there was terrible situation on Mount Hood with many bodies recovered. We had several friends who walked off that mountain who had been in Mountain Rescue for decades and never came back.

TMR out again on Sunday night / Monday morning. This time in the Olympics for a hiker with a broken leg on the summit of Mt Ellinor (~6,000ft). With Olympic Mountain Rescue already stretched by another mission in Jefferson, members from Tacoma Mountain Rescue Unit were happy to come in as back up. Working alongside Mason County Sheriff and the Mason County Special Operations Rescue Team. Special thanks to our friends at NAS Whidbey Island SAR for a nighttime hoist that saved us from a difficult and dangerous litter carry! ... See MoreSee Less

I heard the dispatch when the helo landed at Sanderson. I thought wow, they went up there at night to pick up this hiker. Would have been a very difficult litter carry.

Who thought you'd get this result after 8 days of searching? Jake K, Zach & Jay from TMR did. A great example to us all. Working with Olympic Mountain Rescue, Seattle Mountain Rescue, Pierce County Explorer Search and Rescue, King County Search and Rescue, King County Sheriffs Office and many others to put together all the clues, doing the miles, finding the lost & bringing them home. ...

Excellent work by search and rescue today! Thanks to all the fellow search and rescue agencies that made this happen! Olympic Mountain Rescue, Seattle Mountain Rescue, Everett Mountain Rescue, Pierce County Explorer Search and Rescue, King County Explorer Search and Rescue, German Shepherd Search Dogs and King County Sheriff's Office were just a few of the agencies that made it happen over the last 8 days.
#mountainrescue #SAR #MRA #SoOthersMayLiveFound alive! We are beyond elated to report that Gia Fuda has been located alive after 8 days of searching. Look for an update from King County Sheriff's Office very soon.
Great work by the tenacious deputies and SAR volunteers! ... See MoreSee Less
