On March 20, 2025, the Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) received a 911 call at 11:59 a.m. and responded to a hiker in distress on the Mānana Ridge Trail in Pearl City with 6 units staffed with 17 personnel. The first unit arrived on scene at 12:09 p.m. and secured a landing zone at the top of Waimano Home Road to prepare for air operations.

It was reported that a family of four was lost and unable to safely descend the trail on their own. Air 1 inserted rescue personnel to the family’s location and escorted them to a remote landing zone nearby. The family was then safely airlifted to the Waimano Home Road landing zone where medical care was declined.
