Hunter Rescued After Falling From Berwick Tree Stand

Rescuers hiked through wet and cold terrain Tuesday morning in a multi-agency effort to rescue an injured man who had fallen from a tree stand deep into the woods in Berwick. The call came in at approximately 10 a.m., according to Chief Daniel Meehan of Lebanon Fire and EMS. Meehan happened to be in a meeting with Berwick Fire Chief Dennis Plante at the time. Initial reports indicated a hunter had fallen from a tree stand in the woods off Togue Brook Road. According to Plante, the injured man used his cell phone to call 911 and searchers used the phone’s GPS to help locate him. Meehan said he offered the use of his agency’s 6-wheeler to aid in rescue efforts.
