Ramona Fire Department Responds to ‘Heat-Exhausted’ Teen at Cedar Creek Falls

A teen needed medical aid at Cedar Creek Falls Saturday after she felt like she couldn’t walk from heat exhaustion, Ramona Fire Station 81 said.

The girl was hiking with a group of five friends, according to Capt. Shoemaker, when she experienced “heat exhaustion and leg cramps.”

The incident occurred on the second day Cedar Creek Falls was open after an almost two-year closure.

Station 81 said this was not a “rescue” and that the hiker was able to walk out without medical treatment.

“An airship was canceled before it was even launched,” Shoemaker said.

The captain said the victim didn’t have enough water or electrolytes.
