Rescue crews aid hikers in Palolo, on North Shore

Fire rescue workers responded Saturday to rescue an injured woman hiker in Palolo Valley and a couple of lost hikers in the Sunset Hills area.

Fire spokesman Capt. Terry Seelig said the Palolo hiker had an ankle injury that wasn’t life-threatening but she was unable to walk without assistance from a friend.

He said fire rescue workers escorted her out of the hiking area.

Seelig said fire rescue workers also rescued hikers in the Sunset Hills area of the North Shore, who called for help on their cell phones.
