UPDATE: The Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) resumed fire suppression operations at
6:41 a.m. to continue mitigation efforts at the wildland fire above Mililani Mauka. The fire
continues to burn in a remote, mountainous area. The fire has slowed significantly and
remains relatively unchanged in size, at 710 acres as of 7:00 a.m. The fire involves City,
State and Federal land and is 30% contained. The main portion of the active fire
continues to move east, further away from the Mililani Mauka community.

There are currently two HFD helicopters, one U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter, two U.S.
Army CH-47 Chinook aircraft and one DOFAW helicopter. DOFAW ground crews will
assess the area at the west end of the fire while HFD Investigators begin their
investigation into the cause of the fire. The support of air assets from all agencies and
resources is paramount in getting ahead of and extinguishing this fire.
Please be aware that the outdoor warning sirens and emergency alert system will be
running their monthly test at 11:45 a.m.

There are no reports of any injuries, no structures or homes have been threatened at
this time, and no evacuations have been ordered at this time.

For anyone who may be affected by the smoke, the HFD recommends they shelter in
place or a place with air conditioning. If anyone is experiencing difficulty breathing,
please call 911 immediately.
