SAN PEDRO, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Firefighters recovered a body and helped an injured person at the bottom of the cliffs at Point Fermin early Sunday.

Los Angeles firefighters were called to the scene in San Pedro just before 2 a.m. for a cliff rescue.

When they arrived they found one deceased person at the bottom of the cliffs and a second person with injuries. The injured person was brought to a local hospital.

They were unable to airlift the body because of low visibility but another land-based rope rescue crew was brought in.

The deceased person was described as a woman around 26 years old who apparently fell about 100 feet down the cliff.
