Small Purchase Of Card Helps High Country Rescue Costs

DENVER (CBS4) - Outdoor enthusiasts are being asked to help with the growing costs of rescue operations in Colorado.

The Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue card -- or CORSAR card -- is now on sale. Money raised from the cards will be used to help crews pay for equipment and other costs.

There are two versions of the cards -- $3 for one year, or $5 for five years.

Authorities say it's not "rescue insurance" and doesn't reimburse or pay for medical transport.
