An injured hiker had to be rescued by Saint John fire crews near Mispec Beach over the weekend.
Platoon Chief Michael Carr said they were called to a trail on Red Head Road around 5:30 p.m. Sunday.
Carr said paramedics told them the hiker needed to be extricated due to their injuries.
“After the patient was stabilized on scene by paramedics, fire crews carried the patient using a rescue stretcher along the trail to the awaiting ambulance,” said Carr.
Carr said the hiker was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. No other details about their condition have been released.
Fire crews were on scene for about an hour, Carr said.
