This must have been excruciating. When I've changed into sandals in shelters with all the tippy backpack stoves roaring, I'll remember this. Hope she's OK.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP)-- Rescuers carried a Massachusetts teenager out of New Hampshire's White Mountains early Wednesday after she spilled boiling water on her feet.
Fish and Game said Katelyn Ryan, 16, of Medfield, Mass., suffered second-degree burns Tuesday night. A team of rescuers carried her from her Zealand Trail campsite at about 1 a.m., and she was taken to Littleton Hospital.
She was part of a group of three counselors and eight campers on an overnight camping trip. [end quote]
Further details from F&G: "A call for help came in to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 26. Fish and Game Conservation Officers, along with Appalachian Mountain Club staff and the counselors from the camping group, assisted with the carryout, which concluded at about 1:00 a.m. this morning."
And more details this morning from the Union Leader, which reports that the incident occurred on the Ethan Pond Trail and that one of the rescuers totaled her car on a Zealand Road bridge but survived uninjured.
