Three hikers rescued from banks of swollen stream on Maui

Maui fire personnel rescued three hikers who were stranded by flood waters at the Bamboo Forest Trail on Sunday.

Firefighters responding to a 1:25 p.m. emergency call were directed from people coming off the trail, who said that the three hikers were trapped on the Kahului side of the stream. A Maui Fire Department helicopter located the hikers — two men and a woman — and airlifted them to a landing zone established at a pasture near Hana Highway.

No injuries were reported.
