Many of you are often surprised to realize that Harrisburg River Rescue and Emergency Services (HRRES) is comprised of 100% volunteers, and just as it was when formed in 1959, none of our members receive payment for their services. As a result of the dedication of our volunteer river rescue personnel, we are proud to provide water safety education and training for the community and professional rescue personnel, water rescue and emergency response, ice rescue, and emergency boat operations for municipalities and organizations through Dauphin County. Our dive team responds to and assists with rescue operations, underwater criminal investigations, forensic recovery, and provides law enforcement diver training. The diversity of our members includes training and certification as water rescue personnel, master divers, emergency medical technicians, firefighters, law enforcement officers, and educators with no impact on your property taxes.
