UPDATE: The Mililani Mauka Incident Management Team has suspended operations at
the wildland fire above Mililani Mauka due to impending darkness. The fire continues to
burn in a remote, mountainous area with steep, dangerous terrain on private lands and
within the Oahu Forest National Wildlife Refuge. The perimeter of the fire remains
secure. The fire has not increased in size and is approximately 1,350 acres. Water drops
were successful and ground crews made substantial progress building a fireline for
preventative measures. The fire is 85% contained, with the main portion of the active fire
located at the southeast side of the involved area, 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.

The National Weather Service forecasts a 60% chance of rain after midnight and an
80% chance of rain throughout Monday for the fire area. Increased containment
percentages are expected with favorable weather conditions coupled with several days
of successful aerial and ground operations.

As always, all residents of O’ahu are encouraged to make and practice a family
evacuation plan and have an emergency supply kit assembled and ready to go.
The State of Hawaii Department of Health’s Clean Air Branch continues to monitor air
quality. Air quality inquiries can be routed directly to the Clean Air Branch at (808)

breathing, please call 911 immediately.

There are no reports of any injuries, no structures or homes have been threatened and
