    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.
