On March 2, 2026, the Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) received a 911 call at 2:36 p.m. and responded to an injured hiker on the Lulumahu Trail in Nuʻuanu with 6 units staffed with 18 personnel. The first rescue unit arrived on scene at 2:53 p.m. and ascended the trail on foot. A second-arriving unit secured a nearby landing zone to prepare for air operations.
It was reported that a female hiker in her 50s slipped and suffered an injury. HFD personnel reached the hiker’s location by foot where they conducted a medical assessment, provided basic life support, and prepared her to be extracted from the trail by Air 1. The hiker was then safely airlifted to the nearby landing zone where medical care was transferred to Emergency Medical Services at 3:58 p.m.
All HFD personnel were accounted for with no injuries.
