SARGENT’S PURCHASE — On the afternoon of Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, rescue personnel responded to Mount Washington to assist a young man who was experiencing a medical emergency after hiking to the summit.

At 1 p.m., New Hampshire Fish and Game Department Conservation Officers were notified of a 15-year-old male who was experiencing a significant allergic reaction near the summit buildings. Officers quickly learned that the patient was hiking with a group of Boy Scouts from Connecticut, and that the group was tending to him and rendering first aid. The group was able to alert an employee of Mount Washington State Park, who located the individual and got him into a warm building.
