A brush fire that started on Maui over the weekend has resulted in evacuations and burned hundreds of acres. On June 15, Maui County stated that the Maui Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) ordered residents “near Mile Markers 24 and 25 of Kahikinui” to evacuate.

About 50 residents on Hawaii's Maui island evacuated their homes as a fast-moving brush fire fueled by strong winds encroached on their rural community.

Firefighters extinguished hotspots and reinforced control lines on the south, east and mauka flanks of the fire on June 17. The fire is 95% as of 7 p.m. The fire was contained to 93% as of 7 p.m. on June 16 and officials lifted evacuation orders as well due to the increased fire containment.

Debris from Lahaina wildfires is being trucked to Central Maui Landfill, with delays expected and environmental safeguards in place.

The Maui Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) issued evacuation orders for homes near Mile Markers 24 and 25, with approximately 105 Kahikinui homestead lots in the area. Door-to-door evacuations were also conducted by Maui Police Department and MFD, according to an official update.

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Trucks began to transfer approximately 400,000 tons of Lahaina wildfire debris from the Olowalu Temporary Debris Storage (TDS) site to the Permanent Disposal Site (PDS) adjacent to the Central Maui Landfill in Puʻunēnē.

A 19-page letter began arriving last week with deadlines and instructions on how to file for part of the settlement.
