Child trapped between boulders for 9 hours rescued by firefighters in New Hampshire

WINDSOR, NH — Rescue workers responded after a child became trapped between two rocks and was trapped for more than nine hours, a New Hampshire fire chief said Monday.

The child, estimated to be 11 or 12 years old, was lifted out of the boulders in Windsor at about 3:15 a.m. and was taken to a hospital for evaluation, WMUR-TV reported. Windsor is about 30 miles west of Concord, the state capital.

The boulders are located near the Wediko School, a residential treatment center for middle school and high school boys.

Hillsborough Fire Chief Kenny Stafford told the fire department that firefighters were called to the scene shortly before 6 p.m. Sunday and used rope and lubricant to rescue the child.

Messages for comment were sent to the fire department, which led the multi-agency rescue operation, and to the school.
