THUNDER BAY - Two hikers are back on solid ground after becoming stranded on Mt. McKay and requiring rescue.
Thunder Bay Fire Rescue responded to reports of two stranded hikers on Mt. McKay just after 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Firefighters responded with four pumpers, a technical rescue technician, technical rescue trailer, and a Kubota all-terrain vehicle.
Snow conditions and the hikers not being able to accurately report their location hindered rescue efforts.
Rescuers searched for approximately an hour and a half before locating the two hikers, a 19-year-old male and 24-year-old female. A high angle rope rescue was conducted and the two were rescued from the mountain.
The pair were checked and found to be uninjured and did not require medical treatment.
