Arizona rangers rescue multiple hikers during intense heat wave

Описание: Crews in Arizona have been hard at work during the heat wave, rescuing more hikers suffering heat-related issues, officials said.

A video shared by the Arizona Department of Public Safety shows back-to-back heat-related air rescues last month.

At 1:21 p.m. on Sunday, July 23, the Ranger 1 air crew responded to assist the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office of hikers on Siphon Draw Trail in Apache Junction. The video shows two hikers suffering heat exhaustion being hoisted off the trail. They were turned over to Superstition Fire and Medical.

Soon after that rescue mission, at around 4:15 p.m., Ranger 1 responded to assist the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office in the rescue of three dirt bikers more than 100 miles away on a trail north of Crown King.

The dirt bikers broke down on the trail and were suffering from heat exhaustion. One biker was assisted aboard the helicopter close to the ground, while a rescuer moved farther down the trail to reach the other two bikers for a hoist rescue.

All three bikers were safely transported and turned over to the Mayer Fire Department for medical assistance.

“Rescue crews are prepared to help, but try not to put yourself - and first responders - in a dangerous situation,” the agency said. “Avoid strenuous activities (hiking, cycling, etc.) in the middle of the day during extreme heat, bring more water than you think you need, have your cell phone fully charged, and always share your plans with someone else.”
