Honolulu firefighters rescued three teens who got lost while hiking off the Maili Pillbox Trail on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
The Honolulu Fire Department received a 911 call for the lost hikers at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday, and responded with six units and 14 personnel. The first unit arrived on scene in about 20 minutes and deployed a drone to search for the group as well as the best route to them.<\/p>\n
Firefighters also ascended the trail on foot to begin the search by ground.<\/p>\n
HFD said three teenage girls were reported to have been hiking for two hours and became lost after going off-trail.<\/p>\n
HFD\u2019s Air 1 helicopter was able to locate the girls at 5:55 p.m., and lower rescue personnel by their side. They were medically assessed, found to have no injuries, and transported to a nearby landing zone at 6:16 p.m.<\/p>\n
The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources recommends hikers stay on the trail, as most accidents happen when hikers leave the trail and disregard warning signs.<\/p>\n
