KAHIKINUI (HawaiiNewsNow) - Maui Fire Chief Brad Ventura gives HNN the latest update on the Maui brush fire, Monday at 9:30 a.m. An Emergency Proclamation was signed Sunday at 6 p.m., by Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke, in response to a brush fire on Maui.

Firefighters in Hawaii's Maui County have evacuated 105 homes due to a fast-moving brush fire in Kahikinui. Fueled by strong winds, the blaze expanded to 500 acres. Emergency proclamations were signed to activate the National Guard and access federal assistance.

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.

Federal and City firefighters are working to contain a 250-acre brush fire on the Schofield Barracks Range. According to U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii, the fire has been burning slowly since June 3, and the cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

A quick-spreading brush fire fueled by strong winds in Kahikinui scorched 500 acres of South Maui land Sunday, but no injuries or structural damages have been reported, according to the Maui Fire Department.

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