Firefighters were called to yet another June waterfall rope rescue Saturday – this time at Webster Falls.

Fire department spokesperson Claudio Mostacci said a twenty-something male injured his leg and required a rope rescue shortly after 7 p.m. He was not sure of the full extent of the hiker's injuries Saturday evening.

Mostacci said it wasn't immediately clear whether the man was injured in a fall from a height. But firefighters had to use ropes to pull him out of the Spencer Creek gorge near the waterfall, which at that location is about 22 metres high.

This is the fourth rope rescue call at a Hamilton waterfall this month so far. The other three – including the falling death of a Toronto photographer – occurred at Albion Falls on the east Mountain. Another waterfall rescue happened earlier in the year at the Devil's Punchbowl in Stoney Creek.

By comparison, 2016 saw around 30 rope rescue calls to local waterfalls, a five-year high.

The latest death spurred police, fire, conservation authority and city officials, including ward Coun. Tom Jackson, to tour Albion Falls Friday to compare notes and discuss whether it would be possible to improve safety at the popular waterfall with signs, fencing or other measures.

Toronto resident Corey Dixon, who was badly injured in a fall at Albion Falls last year, has relaunched an online petition aimed at adding safety measures at the location. It now has 533 names listed.
