PHOENIX - A man is fighting for his life after he was found unconscious Thursday on a Camelback Mountain hiking trail.
Phoenix Fire says crews responded just after 12 p.m. on Oct. 5 to Echo Canyon Trailhead for reports of an injured hiker. Once at the scene, firefighters found a man in his 60s unconscious.
Crews used a "Big Wheel" operation to rescue the man, who was halfway up the mountain.
Once at the bottom, the hiker was put in an ambulance and rushed to a hospital.
No firefighters were hurt.
