Scottsdale and Phoenix Fire rescue crews responded to at least four hikers who experienced medical symptoms from extreme heat over the weekend.
Special operations crews from Phoenix Fire utilized a big wheel operation Saturday night to assist a 30-year-old woman off of the Dobbins lookout on South Mountain.
The woman was assisted onto a big wheel vehicle and lowered down the trail uninjured. She was then transported to a local hospital for further evaluation in stable condition, according to Capt. Scott Douglas, a spokesperson for Phoenix Fire Department. Around 11:50 a.m., authorities said that they were notified of a 59-year-old suffering from heat stroke symptoms. Police said that the man was hiking in a steep area at the top of Sunset Trail, and were forced to to preform a hoist operation using a helicopter to save him. "We made that decision because he was actually moving towards heatstroke. He was in and out of consciousness.
