Honolulu firefighters this morning rescued a 75-year-old man who spent the night on Maunawili Trail on Oahu after suffering an injury while hiking Sunday. The Honolulu Fire Department received a 911 call at 6:01 a.m. for the injured hiker. Five units and about 15 personnel responded, with the first arriving on the scene 13 minutes later. The hiker reportedly started hiking the previous night when he suffered an injury and decided to camp out in the mountains, then attempt to hike out at daybreak.

HFD transferred the medical care of the patient to Emergency Medical Services at 7:25 a.m.
