PHOENIX — A woman is in "extremely critical condition" after she had to be rescued off of South Mountain early Sunday morning.

Phoenix Fire officials say just before 7 a.m., the woman's daughter called 9-1-1 after she noticed her 60-year-old mother suffering from heat exhaustion.

Firefighters found the woman about a half-mile up the trail and she was treated with advanced life support measures, loaded onto a big wheel, and taken down to an ambulance.

She was then taken to a hospital for further assessment and treatment.
