Phoenix fire crews stayed busy with mountain rescues on Sunday morning as temperatures warm up and more Valley residents hit the trails.
Around 9 a.m., crews from Phoenix and Chandler were called to the Telegraph Pass Trailhead at South Mountain after a hiker experienced a medical emergency. Crews found a woman in her 30s roughly a mile from the base of the mountain. Authorities say she began feeling dizzy and couldn’t make it down the mountain. Crews began tending to the woman and gave her some water. After a little rest, firefighters were able to help her make her descent down the trail. Crews checked her out again and she didn’t need to be hospitalized. Just two hours later, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Daisy Mountain firefighters were called to Apache Wash Trailhead for reports of an injured hiker.
