HONOLULU >> A fast-moving Hawaii brush fire fueled by fierce winds forced the evacuation of about 50 Maui residents on the opposite side of the same island where a devastating blaze killed over 100 people two years ago.The fire started Sunday in a sparsely populated area with land set aside for Native Hawaiians.

Here’s what we know about the fire so far:

Estimated at 330 acres

The Kahikinui was initially estimated at 500 acres, but aerial surveys overnight put the estimate about 330 acres, Maui’s fire department said. The fire is 80% contained.

The remote, challenging terrain made it difficult to estimate the fire’s size, the department said in a statement. A police drone showed hot spots, but none flared overnight.

No injuries or structural damage was reported. Weather conditions were mostly sunny Monday with a high of 67 degrees Fahrenheit and east winds of about 15 mph, gusting up to about 25 mph.

The U.S. Drought Monitor says all of Maui is in drought.

Authorities conducted door-to-door evacuations and part of a highway remains closed.

Flashbacks to earlier fire

Warren Aganos was on his family’s Hawaiian Homelands lot preparing to go on a Father’s Day hunt when a neighbor called him around 9 a.m. telling him a fire had broken out.

“I hung up and raced out, I didn’t let her finish,” said Aganos, who has been slowly rebuilding the three structures his family lost in a 2016 brush fire that burned over 5,000 acres in the same area. “I was thinking about the last one,” he said. “It was super emotional.”

Aganos said he rushed in his truck to make sure first responders knew where the community’s water storage tanks were before navigating Kahikinui’s dirt roads down to the highway where he could see smoke billowing over the hillside. The community lacks electrical and water infrastructure, and some roads are only navigable by four-wheel drive.

State and local leaders signed emergency proclamations so that the Hawaii National Guard can help and counties can access assistance.

What is the region like?

Kahikinui is less populated and developed than Lahaina, the Hawaiian Kingdom’s capital in the 1800s and a popular tourist destination. Kahikinui was used for cattle ranching for many years and is near a state forest reserve.

The fire department sent engines, tankers and a helicopter to battle the blaze. Three bulldozers cut firebreaks in the lower part of the community, Desiree Graham, co-chair of Kahikinui’s firewise committee, said.

The area has 104 Hawaiian homeland lots of 10 to 20 acres each. About 40 lots have homes, including 15 with full-time residents. Some lots have more than one home, Graham said.
