VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: WHY I SERVE
Nathaniel Lee | Deputy Chief of Medical Operations

At Rescue 101 SAR, our mission is powered by dedicated volunteers who answer the call, no matter where they are or what they’re doing. This month, we’re proud to highlight Nathaniel Lee and his reason for serving.

Nathaniel’s journey is rooted in a lifelong commitment to service. With a background spanning military and EMS, he brings both experience and leadership to every mission. But for him, it goes deeper than skill; it’s about purpose.

“It’s my duty and responsibility to answer the cry for help.”

His motivation is grounded in faith and a strong sense of calling, stepping forward when others are in need, regardless of the challenge ahead.

From leading teams in the field to working side-by-side with volunteers after long operational days, Nathaniel emphasizes what makes Rescue 101 different:

• Leadership that leads from the front
• A team that works together—on and off the mission
• A commitment to doing whatever it takes to get the job done

He’s seen firsthand the impact of showing up for communities during their worst moments:

“That could be your community, or your family, facing that nightmare. We show up because we would hope someone would do the same for us.”

Balancing life, work, and volunteering isn’t always easy, but for Nathaniel, it comes down to priorities and commitment. And despite the challenges, he continues to answer the call because of something bigger than himself:

“Knowing that I am part of something truly good… something much bigger than me.”

In one sentence—Why does Nathaniel serve?
“To serve others, no matter what.”

Thank you, Nathaniel, for your leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to serving others.

🎉 Happy 35th Birthday, Deputy Chief Nate Lee! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating one of our own—Nathaniel “Nate” Lee, our Deputy Chief of Medical Operations—who is spending his birthday the way he spends so many of his days… serving others.

Instead of taking the day off, Nate is currently deployed with Rescue 101 SAR in Nashville, volunteering on the front lines as a Sawyer, helping families recover from the recent storm damage. That kind of dedication speaks volumes about the man he is.

Nate, your leadership, humor, and unwavering commitment to this team and the communities we serve do not go unnoticed. Whether you're leading medical operations or running a saw in the field, you set the standard for what it means to serve.

From all of us at Rescue 101 SAR—your team, your family—
Happy Birthday, Nate!

Stay safe out there, and we’ll celebrate properly when you get home.

Operation Deep Freeze | Field Update

Today’s job is a perfect example of what our teams are facing across the area.

A large tree came down directly onto this structure, leaving it unsafe and at risk of further collapse. Our crews moved in, assessed the hazards, and began systematic removal, cutting, clearing, and making the property safe again for the homeowner.

This isn’t a one off situation.

There are dozens more just like this still on our list, families waiting, properties still unsafe, and work that needs to be done.

Every branch removed, every cut made, every structure cleared brings someone one step closer to normal.

Always Vigilant. Ready for Anything. So Others May Live.

If you want to support ongoing operations, now is the time.
