A 55-year-old man was rescued from a trail in Pacific Palisades Saturday after becoming dehydrated while hiking in the heat, authorities said.
Ground and air personnel responded to Temescal Ridge Trail at about 11:41 a.m. Saturday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The man was “unable to walk in hot weather near the conclusion of his journey on a remote section of the Temescal Ridge Trail,” the fire department said.
An LAFD rescue helicopter lowered a paramedic to medically assess and stabilize the patient, who was then flown away for transport to an area hospital.
No further information was immediately available.
Temperatures were in the lower 80s in the area Saturday, and health officials were urging the public to exercise caution when engaging in any physical outdoor activities this weekend, with highs reaching the 90s and triple digits in some parts of the Southland.
