Firefighters in New Hampshire rescue child trapped between boulders for nine hours

WINDSOR, NH (AP) — Rescue workers came to the aid of a child who was trapped between two boulders for more than nine hours, a New Hampshire fire chief said Monday.

The child, estimated to be 11 or 12 years old, was recovered from the boulders in Windsor around 3:15 a.m. and 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 Wediko School, a residential treatment center for middle and high school boys.

Hillsborough Fire Chief Kenny Stafford said firefighters received a 911 call just before 6 p.m. Sunday and used rope and grease to rescue the child.

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