More than 25 people were on scene for three hours to rescue a 21-year-old woman from the first set of falls. One scene were fire companies from Jim Thorpe, Lehigh & Lausanne, Nesquehoning, Franklin Township and Lehighton ambulance.

The trail was closed on May 1 because of poor conditions. According to reports on the scene, the trail is totally washed out, making the rescue is dangerous.
