Pennsylvania Water Rescue Mission Statement:
The Mission of Pennsylvania Water Rescue is to save lives by maintaining an emergency response rescue team capable of responding on short notice, to any location, at any time, to provide water rescue and first aid to victims of water accidents of every sort and description.
Pennsylvania Water Rescue is not funded by any governmental agency and relies totally on charitable donations. Please help if you can! We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization so most donations are tax deductable . Please click on the “Donate to Pennsylvania Water Rescue ” link at the bottom of the page or contact us.
Dedicated members are always being sought after! If you have time that you can volunteer to help our mission, please contact us. Any help, from administrative, fundraising, rescue operations, and more is greatly needed and appreciated! Visit our “Volunteering” page for more information.

- Swiftwater rescue
- Ice rescue
- Lowhead dam rescue
- Underwater recovery of evidence, vehicles, and personal property
