West Hardin Fire and Rescue says at approximately 7:48 p.m. on March 14 emergency crews were dispatched to the area of Sonora Hardin Springs Road in Big Clifty for a reported rescue. The initial information indicated “a 26-year-old female had reportedly fallen from an estimated height of two to three stories while near the edge of a cliff in a remote area,” with the caller reporting that the individual had landed on rocks below the cliff.
