Boy trapped between large boulders for 9 hours saved by New Hampshire firefighters
View Date:2024-12-23 11:22:55
Firefighters in New Hampshire rescued an 11-year-old boy who was trapped between boulders for more than nine hours, according to officials and reports.
The Hillsboro Fire Department and EMS responded to Camp Wediko, where they discovered the child "lodged between the crevasse in a large boulder" on Sunday evening, according to a news release.
CBS News reported that the child was with an adult when he slipped into the rocks. The faculty member called first responders when they couldn't help him.
In addition to Hillsboro Fire, other nearby agencies were called to the scene. Officials said the child had little space to move his arms or legs. According to the report, they used "friction reducing materials and a lubing solution" to free him.
"We are deeply grateful to our staff for their swift, professional response, and to the local emergency teams for bringing the student to safety," the Wediko School told CBS in a statement. "Ensuring the physical safety and emotional well-being of our students remains our highest priority at the Wediko School."
Camp Wediko − an adolescent program for kids with anxiety, ADHD, Asperger's, and mood disorders − is located in Windsor, which is about 44 miles from Manchester.
The child was released from the hospital
The boy was freed Monday morning and taken to a local hospital. He was later released, CBS reported.
"The Hillsboro Fire and EMS would like to thank all of our mutual aid companies that assisted with the technical rescue conducted at Wediko Children’s services last night and well into the early morning hours," the Hillsboro Fire said in a statement.
