Injured hiker rescued from mountains above Moanalua Valley
Honolulu firefighters rescued a woman who got injured hiking in the mountains above Moanalua Valley early this morning.
The Honolulu Fire Department received a 911 call at 7:58 a.m. today for the injured hiker and sent four units staffed with 12 personnel, with the first unit arriving on the scene 16 minutes later.
A husband and wife were reportedly walking when the woman fell and sustained an injury.
