PHOENIX<\/strong> – A man experiencing heat-related issues was rescued on a South Mountain hiking trail on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The July 9 rescue happened around 9:40 a.m. on the Desert Classic Trail<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Crews hiked to the patient and evaluated him on scene. Rescue crews determined the need to air lift him off the trail using Phoenix PD Firebird helicopter. The patient was then transported to the hospital in stable condition,” said Phoenix Fire Captain Daniel “DJ” Lee.<\/p>\n

The man wasn’t identified, but the fire department said he was elderly.<\/p>\n
