Two hikers who became lost on the Maakua Trail in Hauula and could not descend before sunset were rescued by firefighters this afternoon.
The Honolulu Fire Department said it received a call about the lost hikers, a 59-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman, at around 4:15 p.m. and established a landing zone at Hauula Elementary School.
HFD’s Air 1 helicopter located the hikers before 6 p.m. and flew them to safety a few minutes later. They were reportedly not injured, but they were transferred to the care of the Honolulu Emergency Medical Services for a medical evaluation.
