Wilderness Rescue: On Sept. 26 at 2 p.m., six Forest Rangers responded to a call for a hiker with an ankle injury on Devil’s Path at Jimmy Dolan Notch between Indian Head and Twin Mountain in the Indian Head Wilderness Area. At 4:30 p.m., Rangers, a Greene County Paramedic, and Hunter EMT reached the subject and determined it was an unstable ankle injury. Due to the terrain and location, Rangers requested a New York State Police (NYSP) helicopter for a hoist rescue. NYSP Pilots Engle and Maycrink, Ranger Lieutenant Gullen, and Ranger Thompson flew to the location and executed a successful hoist. Hunter EMS transported the 29-year-old to the hospital. Resources were clear at 7:15 p.m.
