Firefighters airlifted a hiker who fell ill on the Sant Vicenç d'Enclar trail yesterday, conducting an on-site medical evaluation before determining no hospital transfer was required.
The emergency alert came in around 1 p.m. on April 18, prompting the deployment of a mountain rescue team and a paramedic alongside the helicopter unit. Ground vehicles could not reach the location due to the narrow path, so the aerial team located the individual, evacuated them, and performed an initial health assessment. Officials later confirmed the person could walk out independently if they chose, with no need for further medical transport.
The fire service has provided no further information on the hiker's identity or condition.
