Quickly rising stream waters in Waihee Valley and Iao Valley trapped more than two dozen people, who were rescued by firefighters Sunday afternoon, a fire official said.

Firefighters were dispatched at 12:51 p.m. to the area known as Swinging Bridges in Waihee Valley after a report that nine people were trapped when the stream rose quickly there, said Capt. Paul Haake. He said Wailuku firefighters hiked into the area and located nine Maui residents who were on the other side of the heavily flowing stream.

A bridge had washed out and residents couldn’t cross the river, Haake said.

A rescue crew arrived aboard the Fire Department’s Air One helicopter to airlift the residents to safety.

At 1:23 p.m., firefighters responded to Kepaniwai Park in Iao Valley, where 14 residents and two visitors were trapped by the quickly rising Wailuku River, Haake said. The 16 people also were airlifted to safety by the helicopter with rescue firefighters aboard, Haake said.

No injuries were reported.

A flash-flood advisory was in effect for Maui on Sunday.
