Alpine, NJ - The Alpine Fire Department, alongside the East Bergen Rope Rescue Team, responded to a high-angle rescue at State Line Lookout, bringing specialized resources to a challenging terrain incident.
Crews arrived to find a situation requiring technical rope operations, with responders deploying rappel systems to safely access and assist the individual in distress.
