The real reason for his anger was that he could not go with the rescue squad. The rescue squad took away all the poles and sticks. These were to be used as sounding rods for searching the victims buried deep in the snow.

Question:

What efforts were being made to rescue the people buried under the snow?

Answer:

A rescue squad with poles and sticks as sounding rods was sent to rescue the people buried under the snow.

Is the answer alright?

Thanks

Yes, that's largely OK. There are a couple of small stylistic criticisms that could be made, but largely it is correct.

In the original text it should be "searching for the victims".
