A female hiker complaining of nausea and dehydration on the Bump-and-Grind Trail south of Palm Desert was rescued Thursday by firefighters, a Cal Fire spokeswoman said.
Four engine crews and one truck company responded at 10:33 a.m. Jan. 31, and firefighters used a vehicle to drive the hiker a quarter-mile down the trail, Melody Hendrickson of Cal Fire-Riverside County said in a statement.
"The female patient was transported to an area hospital by firefighter paramedics in stable condition," Hendrickson said in an update at 1:30 p.m.
A total of 17 firefighters responded along with one ambulance, Hendrickson said.
