The hikers were safely rescued and were not injured.Nolan Hale, battalion chief for Cal Fire's Auburn headquarters, said the rescue could not have happened in a better location.'They were essentially 50 feet below our training site. Over the past four to five months, we've held seven large trainings there for low-angle rope rescues. So the ground and the gear and the systems we used are all very familiar,' Hale said.
