CAMDEN — Firefighters and ambulance crew in Camden took a hike up Megunticook late this morning to help an injured woman down the trail.

The call for help came at 11:30 a.m., just as the crate races were getting underway in Camden Harbor and where some firefighters were on standby in in the water, helping out with safety patrol at the annual Windjammer Festival.

According to Camden Fire Chief Chris Farley, the woman, 50, was with her husband walking the Megunticook trail in the Camden Hills State Park when she stumbled, fell down and broke her ankle.

Six firefighters and six from North East Mobile Health Services walked three-quarters of a mile up the trail, loaded the woman on a Stokes basket, and carried her down to a waiting ambulance.

The rescue was the second such mountain assist in the last week. On Tuesday, Aug. 26, 11 Camden and Lincolnville firefighters and five crew members from North East Mobile Health Services carried a 65-year-old woman who was a mile and a quarter up from the Bald Mountain parking lot, in Camden, complaining of feeling faint. She was also carried down the hill in a Stokes Basket.

Camden firefighters also responded to an odor investigation at Mountainside Park, a subdivision off of Route 52, in Camden, at 10 p.m. Aug. 29. There, a lightbulb apparently heated some crafts material used for making Christmas ornaments and resulted in the smell of something burning.

And, the Camden Fire Department responded to two other calls, a fire alarm at Windward Gardens, an assisted living facility, just after 2 a.m. Aug. 29.
