A 25-year-old woman was rescued from the Diamond Head Crater Trail in Kahala last Saturday after falling and sustaining injuries that prevented her from continuing. The Honolulu Fire Department received a call for assistance at 11:32 a.m. and arrived on scene by 11:36 a.m., deploying six units and 17 personnel.
A hiker was located and reached by rescuers at 11:54 a.m. A medical assessment was conducted, and basic life support was provided. She was then airlifted to a landing zone and transferred to Emergency Medical Services at 12:27 p.m. A second hiker who was with her left the area on foot and did not require assistance, according to the Honolulu Fire Department.
A recent hiking incident emphasized the need for safety and preparedness on trails. The Honolulu Fire Department responded quickly and safely evacuated an injured hiker, demonstrating effective emergency response. Authorities advise hikers to take proper precautions and be prepared for unexpected situations.
