The cache stocks thousands of items necessary for firefighting and other emergencies. The list includes tents, fire fighting tools, communication kits, helicopter support equipment, batteries, sleeping bags, fire resistant clothing, and much more.
OTHER EVENTS
SAK also provides assistance during other emergencies and participates in special events. In recent years SAK has assisted relief efforts associated with floods, hurricanes, ice storms, and search and rescue efforts.
