LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — An injured hiker has been found by rescue teams with the Las Vegas Fire Department.

The department calls operations like this labor intensive, as crews trying to help the hiker had to find them, stabilize them, and transport them finally back to safety for additional medical care.

Operations with partnering agencies in the area took six hours on Sunday.
