UPDATE: The Mililani Mauka Incident Management Team (IMT) resumed fire
suppression operations at 7:09 a.m. to continue mitigation efforts at the wildland fire
above Mililani Mauka. The fire continues to burn in a remote, mountainous area with
steep, dangerous terrain, with no significant overnight spread. The fire has affected
approximately 1,350 acres of land and is now 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.

There is currently one HFD helicopter, one U.S. Army National Guard Blackhawk
helicopter, one U.S. Army National Guard CH-47 Chinook aircraft, and two United States
Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) contracted helicopters. The Department of Forestry
and Wildlife (DOFAW) continues to assist with staff and personnel.

The National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning due to the expected strong
trade winds and relatively low humidity from 10:00 a.m. Sunday, November 5, 2023 to
6:00 p.m. on Monday, November 6, 2023. The IMT has been working with the National
Weather Service throughout the incident to closely monitor weather systems. The
Mendocino Interagency Hotshot Crew and the Six Rivers Wildland Fire Module continue
to extinguish hot spots and build a fireline along the western edge of the fire perimeter,
in an effort to prevent future fire spread toward Mililani Mauka. One mile of fireline has
been built thus far. Crews remain vigilant and contingency plans are in place should
winds increase and significantly affect fire behavior. For updates, download the HNL Info

evacuation plan and have an emergency supply kit assembled and ready to go.
