Near Drowning at Kaaterskill Falls (Aug 28)

Unread post by dave »

Town of Hunter in Greene County

Wilderness Rescue:
On Aug 28 at 1:10 p.m., Forest Rangers Dawson and Allwine and Assistant Forest Ranger Gumbs responded to a call for a subject having trouble swimming in the middle pool of Kaaterskill Falls. The 27-year-old from the Bronx did not know how to swim, reached an area deeper than anticipated, and was struggling to keep their head above water. Bystanders helped the subject out of the water and called 911. Ranger Dawson and a Hunter ambulance crew hiked in and evaluated the subject, who walked out to the trailhead before being transported to Columbia Memorial Health by Hunter Ambulance. Resources were clear at 2:10 p.m.
