Moultonborough, NH – On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, at 6:15 p.m., Moultonborough Fire-Rescue, Center Harbor Fire-Rescue, Stewart’s Ambulance, Lakes Region Search and Rescue, and New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation Officers responded to the Fire Tower Trail on Red Hill for a reported injured hiker.
First responders located Luan Heimlich of California, approximately 0.6 miles from the trailhead with a lower-leg injury. Heimlich was treated and carried off the mountain in a litter to the trailhead. Heimlich was transported to Concord Hospital in Laconia by Stewart’s Ambulance. It was determined that Heimlich fell after slipping on loose rock while descending from the summit.
