Three hikers stranded on a Pacifica cliff for 13 hours were finally rescued Saturday morning. According to North County Fire Authority, on Friday around 9:34 p.m. fire crews and rescue teams responded to the area near Blackburn Terrace and Kent Road. A 23-year-old man and two 13-year-olds were stranded about 700-feet down Shelter Cove Bluff. Due to the location, darkness and gusty wind conditions, firefighters weren't able to reach the victims. The rescue team stayed in touch throughout the night and provided updates to the victims' family. On Saturday a CHP helicopter was dispatched to the area and firefighters safely rescued the victims. After 13 long hours, the three hikers were reunited with family and checked by medical personnel.
