An inmate firefighter was airlifted to safety Thursday morning after having suffered a heat-related ailment. Shortly after 10:30 a.m., paramedics with the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to reports of an inmate firefighter in need of medical attention on the 30000 block of San Francisquito Canyon Road, near one of the county’s inmate firefighting camps.

The inmate began suffering from the heat when he found himself in a remote spot in hard-to-reach terrain. “It was too far our engines to get up there,” Fire Department Inspector Gustavo Medina said. The National Weather Service reported temperatures in the mid-90s for the SCV on Thursday.

“The patient was in a spot where he wasn’t able to walk out,” he said. “It was too high.”

That’s when the County’s Rescue Helicopter 16 was dispatched to the remote location on San Francisquito Canyon Road.
