About 1,000 people chipped in money to rescue the rescuers.
The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue nonprofit organization raised close to $74,000 on GoFundMe to replace the lifesaving equipment that it lost to thieves Dec. 28.
“We exist to rescue people when they need us most, but in our time of need, the community really rescued us, and we’ll never forget that,” said Serge Newberry, the leader of Skamania search and rescue’s drone team.
