Town of Hunter in Greene County

Wilderness Rescue:
On Oct. 2 at 11:15 a.m., Central Dispatch received a call from Greene County 911 requesting Forest Ranger assistance with a 28-year-old hiker from Albany who was experiencing a seizure while hiking Huckleberry Point Trail in the Kaaterskill Wild Forest. Forest Rangers from Region 3 and 4 responded, along with Greene County EMS, and Tannersville and Cedar Grove volunteer fire departments. Forest Rangers and EMS staff located the hiker approximately 1.5 miles in from the trailhead. After a medical assessment, the hiker was packaged up and transported by UTV back to the trailhead where they were transferred to Hunter Ambulance for hospital transport. Resources were clear of the scene at 1:35 p.m.
