Sheridan Area Search and Rescue

We are grateful to have these guys to aid us when our community needs us most.

Well deserved honor.

Life-saving courage in the mountains.

A Wyoming Army National Guard MEDEVAC crew was recently recognized for a nighttime mountain rescue that saved the lives of two civilians after a fatal aircraft crash near Sheridan.

On Sept. 1, 2025, while on wildfire standby in Pinedale, the crew launched into high-altitude terrain, heavy smoke, and fading light. With no safe landing zone, they executed a precision hoist rescue through dense timber—overcoming entanglement in treetops to bring survivors safely aboard.

👏 Recognized for their actions:
Maj. Lauren Gurney
CW2 John Mathews
SFC Andrew McCown
SSG Ashley Ott
(Golf Co., 2-211 GSAB)

This is what readiness, teamwork, and service look like when Wyoming needs it most.

We love this community and are always grateful when local businesses step up to help us - help you!
