Wilderness Rescue: On July 28 at 4:15 p.m., Forest Rangers Rusher and Quinones overheard radio traffic between the Blue Hole stewards and Central Dispatch about a teenager possibly having a seizure at Peekamoose Blue Hole. Rangers arrived to find the 13-year-old from Hurley conscience and alert, but with blue lips, hands, and feet. The subject also hit her head on a rock when she passed out. The teen, accompanied by her father, was lethargic, lightheaded, and shivering due to dehydration and hypothermia. Rangers helped the teenager out of the water, and gave her dry clothes, snacks, and water. Neversink EMS transported the subject to the hospital. Resources were clear at 5:45 p.m.
