The Santa Clarita Sheriff Search and Rescue team hiked into a remote area and located two missing hikers and their dog on Sunday at about 2:30 p.m.
A 46-year-old female and a 17-year-old male had both been overcome with heat related problems in a mountainous area near Templin Hwy, Castaic, Santa Clarita Valley.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department helicopter airlifted them to medical care. The teen and dog were okay, but the adult woman was suffering from heat exhaustion and was treated and released at the hospital. One deputy sheriff rescuer suffered from heat exhaustion, and was treated and released after medical care.
All rescuers on the trails, and in the air, earned some tall pitchers of water. It’s hot of there

Good job search and rescue!
Thank you for your efforts
Who would intentionally go on a hike in 100+ degree temps? You’re just asking for trouble.
Since they were rescued at 2:30 in the afternoon I bet they went out for an early morning hike trying to beat the heat.
I went to COSTCO on Saturday as soon as it opened at 9:30 but it was 90 by the time I left at 10:00 according to the time and temp on whites cyn.
THANK YOU to the wonderful Search and Rescue Team Volunteers we have in SCV! You are always there and willing to help at a moments notice. So happy we have you in our community!
