A 14-year-old girl was rescued from the Appalachian Trail Friday afternoon in Carrying Place Township in Somerset County.
The Maine Forest Service reached her first and took her out of the woods in a helicopter, according to Mark Latti, spokesman for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. The Maine Warden Service also was on its way to the scene.
No details on the person’s name, the incident or whether it was injury-related were available, although an emergency alert said it was for a medical reason.
