WAILUKU (AP) — Maui firefighters have rescued 14 hikers stranded by flash flooding.
Maui Fire Department Captain Rylan Yatsushiro said in a statement that authorities received a call from a home overlooking Makamakaole Gulch on Monday afternoon after someone there heard cries for help.
The hikers were in two separate groups in different parts of the gulch. A fire department helicopter flew the seven residents and seven visitors to a safe landing zone along Kahekili Highway.
An ambulance took two 64-year-old visitors to Maui Memorial Medical Center with minor injuries. The other 12 hikers were uninjured.
