Elevating Search And Rescue Capabilities With Upfitted Broncos

Darley and Ford are working together to put real capability into the hands of search and rescue teams across the country. Through Ford’s Bronco “Answer the Call” program, five Bronco Badlands are being donated to under-resourced SAR organizations. Each one is equipped with Darley rescue and communications solutions so the Broncos can move straight into operations. These Broncos are built around what teams actually need in the field: reliable connectivity, scene lighting, recovery gear, and support for drones and mapping tools, all on a platform crews already know. Early recipients include Kern County Fire & Rescue in California and Teton County Search & Rescue in Wyoming, with additional teams to be selected through a national application process. The goal is straight forward: give proven agencies a vehicle that can reach the trailhead, the canyon, or the floodplain and help them do their work more effectively.
