The group, comprised of four firefighters from Continental Village FD, an Empress EMT from Peekskill EMS, a Paramedic from Cortland Regional Paramedics and a NYS Park Police Officer reached the victim after approximately 25 minutes of hiking. Upon contacting the victim, responders with the help of a mobile heart monitor, determined that the victim was experiencing a heart attack and would require immediate extrication from the trails. Firefighters And EMS began coordinating efforts to get the victim airlifted from the mountain by helicopter. The nearest helicopter with rescue lifting capabilities was Air 1 from the New York City Police Department. Once requested, NYPD Aviation made a quick flight from NYC to Anthony’s Nose.
