Arietta: On Aug.13 at 1:15 p.m., DEC's Ray Brook Dispatch received a request for assistance for a 56-year-old hiker from Poughkeepsie with a lower leg injury near the base of the Pillsbury Mountain Fire Tower. Forest Ranger Nally and members of the Speculator Fire Department, Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, and the Greater Amsterdam Volunteer Ambulance Corps made their way on foot to the woman's location. Due to the extreme heat and difficult terrain, NYSP Aviation was requested to assist with a hoist evacuation. The woman was extracted off the summit at approximately 5 p.m. and transported by family for further medical attention.
