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.
