Summary
A brush fire erupted in Central Maui around 3:30 PM, racing toward Kuihelani Highway—prompting a swift response from the Maui Fire Department. With ground crews and aerial water drops, firefighters contained the blaze by 4:30 PM, then reinforced their efforts overnight with a bulldozer-built fire break. No injuries or property damage occurred, and no evacuations were needed. The highway reopened Thursday evening, and by 6:40 AM, the fire was fully extinguished after burning seven acres of brush. Authorities are still investigating the cause, which remains undetermined. A timely response kept paradise safe.
