The phone fell while three men were taking scenic photos in the area, SFFD said. Two of the men climbed down the cliff to get the phone, but were unable to get back up. Vallejo arson suspect arrested for attempted murder, kidnapping, rape: VPD An SFFD ropes rescue team responded to the scene at 3:31 p.m. It took firefighters roughly an hour to hoist the men to safety. No one was injured during the ordeal.
