TUCSON- Two hikers were rescued in separate incidents Saturday afternoon.

According to Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman Tom Peine, a 30-year-old male was rescued near Hutch's Pool north of Sabino Canyon by a blackhawk helicopter.

Peine says the hiker was severely dehydrated.

In a second incident, Peine says a hiker was rescued from Mt. Kimball by a Customs Air and Marine helicopter.

The hiker was flown to Orange Grove Middle School for medical evaluation, but Peine says the hiker seems to be ok.
