News article: PE News Link

Pinyon Pines — A hiker who got hurt today near the Sawmill Trail in the rugged northeast Santa Rosa Mountains was carried by firefighters for about 2 miles to safety, a Cal Fire spokeswoman said.

The hiker, whose gender was not provided, was reported injured shortly before 1 p.m., said Cal Fire-Riverside County spokeswoman Jody Hagemann.

Firefighters from the Pinyon Station on state Route 74 walked in more than 2 miles to reach the injured hiker, Hagemann said. They used a rigid litter basket or backboard to carry the hiker out, Hagemann said.

A rescue helicopter was canceled and the hiker was taken to a hospital by an ambulance shortly before 4 p.m., Hagemann said.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
