The Lakehead Search and Rescue Unit (LSRU) is a registered not-for-profit and educational organization, concerned with search, rescue and emergency response in Northern Ontario. LSRU was formed in 1962 and currently has approximately 60 qualified searchers ready to serve you and your community. We work hard training and practicing search, rescue and survival skills with the hope that in the event of an emergency, we can make a difference in saving lives.
Whether you are simply interested in what we do, curious about becoming a unit member, or interested in either the survival course or children's HAT (Hug-A-Tree) and Survive programming please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Building a Signal Fire
The best signals are fires. A large, bright fire at night or a smoky one by day can be easily seen. Be careful to keep your fire under control because an uncontrolled fire could destry your camp and threaten your life.
