First responders conducted multiple rescues on Kauai's North Shore this weekend, saving both Hawaii residents and visitors. At approximately 3:15 p.m. Saturday, firefighters were notified of a 17-year-old male and two 16-year-old female residents in distress at Queen's Bath in Kilauea. The Kauai Fire Department in October had locked the access gate to Queen's Bath due to hazardous ocean conditions and winter swells. The gate is expected to remain locked through spring or until deemed safe, according to a news release. First responders arrived on scene at 3:20 p.m. and found the teenagers near an area known as "the Horseshoe" at Queen's Bath. After multiple attempts to verbally guide them to a safer location for rescue, responders decided it was too dangerous and called for air support.
