About Us
Who We Are
Eastern Shore Ground Search and Rescue is a community-based volunteer emergency response organization.
Our purpose is to find and rescue lost person(s). ESGSAR’s territory covers from Porter’s Lake to Mooseland and up Meagher’s Grant Rd. (Hwy.357) to Crawford’s Bridge. Our team can also assist teams outside our area when requested.
Our base is at 5688 Highway #7 Head of Chezzetcook where we have classroom facilities and store our command bus, support vehicles, boats and kayaks.
