 The Allegheny Mountain Rescue Group will deploy a Quick Response Team or Overhead Team,
either by helicopter or ground vehicle, to any location within a four-hour drive of
Pittsburgh. The other ASRC Groups have a similar service area. The ASRC, including the
Allegheny Mountain Rescue Group, will respond to emergencies in other parts of the state
or country, but may ask the responsible agency to approve fixed-wing air transport
(usually funded by the U.S. Air Force or the state), to minimize travel time and fatigue,
and to make our services more efficient. If an operation in the western Pennsylvania area
needs more resources, we can quickly call in other ASRC and related search and rescue
groups.
