ADK North Technical Rescue was founded in 2011, quickly becoming the leader in technical rescue training in the Northeastern United States. Donald Uhler brings more than 40 years of rescue experience to every group they instruct, whether it be Swiftwater, Rope, or Ice technical training. The instructors are very active in their local community rescue teams. Donald is one of the leaders of their local Fire/Rescue Team, the Saranac Volunteer Fire Department. As well, they are active in the Regional Team, Adirondack Technical Rescue Task Force.

 

Being based in Saranac, New York, approximately 40 miles Northeast from Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain, in the Northern Adirondack Mountains, provides ourselves and our classes with a wonderfully challenging class room and training facility.

 

ADK North Technical Rescue was established because we believed there was a definite need to provide more than just instruction to the Technical Rescue teams in the Northeast. Whether the Team we were instructing was established, or just forming, we believed that at the conclusion of the training, many questions remained unanswered. We would receive many questions regarding equipment, creating SOP's and the level of the Agency, how to perform a true risk assessment within the protection are, and how to document a preplan, to just name a few. With these factors only being a fraction of what a successful Rescue team needs, ADK North will provide consulting services to developing teams along with the Technical Rescue training. It is our guarantee that we will follow-up with every team after the completion of a course, to be a source of information and provide answers to any questions or concerns that may arise.

 

Reading some of the truly heroic accomplishments in the media, ADK North Technical Rescue has assisted in developing some very qualified and talented rescue teams. We take great pride in creating new relationships with rescue teams, both young and old. It will continue to be our mission to provide training and guidance to Technical Rescue teams, sharing our knowledge and experience to expand their capabilities and readiness in assisting their local communities.
