Firefighters rescued a dog and a senior citizen from hiking trails today in separate incidents, a fire official said.
About 11:50 a.m. a 14-month-old golden Labrador retriever named Lani was walking with her two owners when she slipped from a steep ridge on Tripler Ridge Trail and couldn’t climb back up, said Honolulu fire Capt. Terry Seelig.
Firefighters repelled rapelled about 50 feet below the ridge to reach the dog and used a helicopter to lift her back onto the trail. Seelig said the dog was not injured.
About 12:10, firefighters helped a man in his 70s who became lost while cutting bamboo with a friend on an Aina Hina Trail, Seelig said.
A fire helicopter lowered rescuers onto the trail. The firefighters found the man about 15 minutes from the trailhead and walked him out.
The man appeared dehydrated and was treated by paramedics, Seelig said.
