Saturday and Sunday emergencies at Issaqueena/Stumphouse

Wahalla’s cross-trained fire fighters have answered calls yesterday and today on the trail around Issaqueena Falls, north of the city.  Today it was a youngster who fell and sustained a head injury.  Prisma EMS, fire fighters and police officers started the care for the boy who was sent to the hospital for observation.  Yesterday afternoon, an adult male at the base of Issaqueena Falls became overcome with exhaustion.  He also got a trip to the hospital.  Walhalla Fire Department reminds everyone to drink lots of fluids and be careful in the rocks.  Those rocks can be slippery any time of the year.
