HONOLULU (KHON2) — The Honolulu Fire Department rescued a woman who fell from the Lanai Lookout in Hawaii Kai on the evening of Aug. 1.
HFD was alerted of the situation shortly after 5 p.m., and responded within several minutes with 22 personnel.
Upon arrival, first responders descended to the bottom of the lookout on foot to rescue the woman.
It was found that a couple visiting the lookout had climbed over the wall before the woman, who HFD says was in her 30s, fell about 25 feet.
First responders got to the woman’s location at around 5:16 p.m. and provided basic life support following a medical assessment. HFD says the woman’s boyfriend was found on a steep, slippery slope after attempting to get down to her.
HFD officials were able to use rope to get to the man’s location and helped him ascend back to the top. Firefighters brought the woman back to the parking lot, where she was transferred over to Emergency Medical Services.
According to EMS, the woman was taken to a hospital in serious condition after she sustained multiple injuries from the fall, where she landed on some rocks.
Officials remind the public to adhere to safety signs on trails, not to veer from the path and to immediately call for help should things go south.
