RCMP say a 24-year-old Trail woman who got lost with her dog while hiking behind the hospital was quickly found.
She called for help on her cell phone Friday afternoon and explained she was stranded and suffering from heat and dehydration.
An officer located her about a kilometre down a trail and escorted her back to safety, where another officer had water waiting.
The woman was in good spirits and did not require medication attention.
“Please be mindful that heat stroke is a real concern during these hot summer days,” Sgt. Mike Wicentowich said.
“Make sure you stay hydrated and covered up if you are in the heat. We appreciate the woman reaching out before her situation became too dire. It is better to alert authorities and get help than to leave it too late.”

Nude yoga
Police responded to a report Saturday of a naked 33-year-old Quesnel woman practicing yoga in the 800 block of Victoria Street in Trail naked.
After speaking to officers, the woman agreed to put her clothes back on.
“She was wearing a baseball hat, and that is highly recommended to help avoid heat stroke in these hot temperatures,” Wicentowich quipped.
