Emergency crews are currently engaged in a rescue operation at Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast. The incident involves three individuals, two of whom have already been successfully rescued, while efforts are ongoing to rescue the third person.

The New Hampshire State Police, in coordination with other agencies, have been working diligently since Saturday afternoon to ensure the safe extraction of the individuals from the popular hiking and backcountry skiing area.

According to reports, the individuals in question are believed to have sustained serious injuries, prompting a swift response from the authorities. The New Hampshire Department of Public Safety has deferred inquiries regarding the rescue operation to the U.S. Forest Service.

As of now, both the Forest Service and New Hampshire Fish and Game authorities have yet to provide further details on the ongoing rescue efforts. The situation remains fluid, and emergency responders are working tirelessly to bring the operation to a successful conclusion.
