Burnt Mtn. Rescue- Monday July 22

6:20 p.m. Monday July 22   FSAR was asked to respond to assist in the rescue of a woman in her 50's on the Burnt Mtn. hiking trail in Carrabassett Valley. We were initially told that the patient was 1/2 way up the trail with an injured knee. After a full call-out of FSAR and some cell communication by I.C, we were told that the patient was slowly making her way down the trail.

An ATV from Sugfarloaf made it's way up the Bracket Basin road that intersects the Burnt Mtn. hiking trail. Contact by the ATV driver was eventually made with the injured hiker. At this time FSAR was told to 'stand down'. The patient was transported to the trail head by the Sugarloaf ATV where she met with Northstar Ambulance employees. She refused transport to the hospital.

Burnt Mountain is the orange area on this Sugarloaf map.
