An injured hiker was rescued in Armstrong County on Saturday.

Members of the South Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Department said they were called to the area of Lock 6 at 1 p.m.

A hiker had fallen and was injured and needed help getting out of the trail.

Firefighters say another hiker had to flag down a passing boat because their cell phone was overheated, preventing them from calling 911.

The hiker was taken out in a stokes basket. Firefighters provided equipment to clear downed trees.

Freeport Fire-EMS treated the hiker’s injuries, which were not life-threatening.

Mobile phones purchased from a carrier are generally locked to that carrier until either the contract is up or the phone is paid off. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel announced the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, or NPRM, in a press release today.
