Search and Rescue
Uniform Requirement

The Shirt

The uniform shirt color is bright orange. Long or short sleeve styles are entirely optional depending on the preference of the individual member, however, there are certain advantages to having long sleeves (such as protection from poison oak, mosquitoes, abrasion from brush, cold weather, etc.) You can roll the sleeves up in the summer.
