each year in training and maintaining the station and equipment. With a roster of thirty-three (33) officers and firefighters and nine (9) Emergency Medical Technicians, the department responds to approximately 300 calls per year. Well equipped, with two Engines (Pumpers), three Tanker Trucks, carrying 4350 gallons of water on wheels, a Heavy-Rescue and an all-wheel drive Brush Truck, the department proudly maintains its 170-year heritage. Outside burning permits are required for any outside burning unless the ground is completely covered with snow. The NH Department of Environmental Services also prohibits the open burning of household waste. Burning permits are available from the Forest Fire Warden or several of the Deputy Wardens listed on our website.

Hiker Injured and Gets Engaged After Fall on Mount Kearsarge

WARNER, N.H. — A weekend hike up Mount Kearsarge took an unexpected turn on Saturday when a New Hampshire woman suffered a severe leg injury—and gained a fiancé just moments later.

On July 11th at approximately 11:50 AM, New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation Officers received a distress call via the State Police Dispatch Center. Reports indicated that a hiker on the Barlow Trail had sustained a lower leg injury so severe she was completely unable to walk and required a carry-out rescue.

First responders from the Warner Fire Department, Hopkinton Ambulance, and New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation Officers quickly mobilized and hiked up the trail to reach the stranded party.

The injured hiker was identified as 29-year-old Alexis Hardy of Sandown, New Hampshire. She was accompanied by her hiking companion, Tim Dupere, who had secretly planned a memorable milestone for the couple's trek.

Despite the medical emergency and the arrival of a rescue crew, Dupere refused to let the injury derail his milestone plans. As rescue efforts got underway and Hardy was being treated, Dupere seized the moment, dropped to one knee, and presented an engagement ring. Amid the pain and the unfolding rescue operation, Hardy happily accepted the proposal.

"New Hampshire Fish and Game would like to congratulate Alexis Hardy and Tim Dupere on their engagement!" officials shared in a statement following the unusual rescue.

Once Hardy was secured in a rescue litter, teams carried her to the summit and navigated down the Rollins Trail to waiting emergency vehicles. She was subsequently transported by Hopkinton Ambulance to Concord Hospital for treatment of her injuries.

State officials remind all outdoor enthusiasts to prepare thoroughly before heading into the mountains. For comprehensive safety tips and a checklist of essential gear, visit hikesafe.com. Hikers are also encouraged to support state search and rescue operations by purchasing a Hike Safe card at the website.
