Cliff rescue
At approximately 5:15 PM on Friday, March 18th, members from the Pleasant Gap Fire Company rescued a 12-year old boy from the area of the J4 cave in Pleasant Gap. It is unclear of the boy’s reason for climbing the face of the rock wall, but when he became stuck on a small ledge, his friends called for emergency assistance. After approximately 90 minutes of preparation, and with the assistance of members from the Alpha Fire Company in State College, the boy was lowered down to solid ground. (Crews on scene included Pleasant Gap Fire/Rescue/EMS and Alpha Fire Companies.)
