In Phoenix, two people needed to be rescued off of Camelback Mountain after suffering heat-related symptoms on Saturday afternoon.

Phoenix Fire says six hikers were able to make it down the trail with assistance.

One hiker needed to be taken down the mountain using the Big Wheel stretcher and was taken to the hospital.
