New Hampshire Fish & Game conducted three separate rescues Saturday.The first rescue happened near the summit of Mt. Cube in Orford at about 12:40 p.m. Officials say a 73-year-old man from Manchester suffered an unspecified medical emergency, which resulted in rescue crews and a New Hampshire Army National Guard helicopter being called in.Crews were able to reach the man two hours later. Rescuers say he was then airlifted to a hospital for treatment.While crews were out responding to the emergency in Orford, the department says they got two separate reports of injured hikers on the Bridle Path in Franconia.According to Fish and Game, the two hikers both suffered lower leg injuries. A group of more than 30 rescuers and a number of good Samaritans were able to help both injured hikers. One of the hikers, identified as a man from New York, was able to "hobble down the trail with assistance," which officials say freed up rescuers to help the other hiker. Fish and Game officers say a hiking companion later transported him for medical care.Officials say the second hiker, identified as a woman from Pelham, needed to be carried using a rescue litter and was later taken to a hospital via ambulance.According to Fish and Game, icy conditions persist at high elevations, and hikers should wear sturdy footwear while hiking."People are back home and realize it's sunny out, and don't realize still probably around 4-thousand feet they're still going to encounter snow and ice in a lot of places," said Lt. James Kneeland, of New Hampshire Fish and Game.Kneeland said research is vital to staying safe on the trails. He says to bring the essentials including proper clothing, lights, maps and extra food and water.
