Wilderness Rescue:
On Aug. 10 at 7 p.m., Forest Ranger Gullen received a call from a subject stuck on the other side of Fawn's Leap due to the heavy rainfall and high water. Rangers Fox, Horn, Kreft, and Peterson joined Ranger Gullen and set up a rope system to rescue the 23-year-old from Brooklyn. After successfully raising him from his location, Rangers waded the subject across the Kaaterskill Creek to safety. Resources, including local police and emergency services, were clear at 9:10 p.m.
