Signal Mountain Rope Rescue
SIGNAL MOUNTAIN, TN (WDEF) -If you are ever lost in woods, and you have a cell phone, call 9-1-1, stay where you are and wait for help.
That’s just what a female hiker did Tuesday (2/25/25) afternoon on Signal Mountain.
The Signal Mountain Fire Department got that call.
According to Amy Maxwell, from the Hamilton County Office of Emergency Management, their Rope and Rescue team entered the trails headed towards Rainbow Lake. Within an hour, they found the female hiker off a rock shelf below the Cumberland Trail.
They established a rope system, pulled her up and walked her out.
We think she is going to be okay, because she refused any medical treatment.
