Even though it's fall and it's starting to cool down, that does not mean it's safe to hike in the heat.

The Pima County Sheriffs Department (PCSD) Search and Rescue Team rescued a group of three people in their 20s on the Sabino Canyon Trail in the Eastside on Tuesday afternoon.

The Rural Metro Fire Department (RMFD) also responded.

PCSD says two of the three people were overheated and dehydrated.

Deputies say they got the call around 3 p.m. and were able to drive up and get to the group by 3:30 p.m. An IV was given to the two individuals.

One of the men who was rescued said he was incredibly afraid and felt dizzy, so he knew he needed to sit down.

He said he underestimated the sun and didnt bring nearly enough water.
