From the Glendale News-Press:

GLENDALE — Eight hikers were rescued Saturday from hiking trails above Brand Park after they became dehydrated and exhausted during their trek, fire officials said.

Glendale firefighters searched the Verdugo mountainside for the hikers after receiving their cell phone calls at about 3:12 p.m. Saturday, Capt. Vincent Rifino said.

Two of the hikers had to be airlifted off the mountain and taken to a local hospital, according to the Fire Department.
