in a remote, mountainous area with steep, dangerous terrain. The fire has not increased
in size and remains at approximately 1,100 acres. Significant progress was made by the
seven air assets at the scene and the fire is now 70% contained. The main portion of the
fire is moving in the southeast direction, approximately four miles from the Mililani
Mauka community. HFD’s drone team will conduct a fire watch starting at sundown. HFD
will do another air reconnaissance at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
