Three mountain rescues. One day. One important reminder. ⛰️
Today, Phoenix Fire crews responded to three separate incidents at Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak.
One hiker was critically ill from extreme heat, with a core temperature over 104°F. Another became dizzy and needed help getting off the mountain. A third experienced chest pain near the summit and required an air rescue.
Different emergencies. Same lesson:
☀️ Know the heat.
💧 Bring plenty of water.
🥾 Know the terrain and your limits.
🛑 If something feels wrong, turn around.
