Fire/rescue crews responded to a 5:26 a.m. alarm Sunday (March 23) to Waipio Valley for a set of missing hikers.

Eight hikers were overdue on their Saturday trip on the Hiilawe Falls trail in Waipio Valley and were unable to hike out due to worsening weather conditions and rapidly rising rivers and streams. The hikers stayed in the valley overnight, were located and rescued from the valley Sunday (March 23) by fire department crews.

The hikers were not injured and did not need medical assistance.

The area was under a National Weather Service flood advisory Sunday due to heavy rains in the area.
