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 fire has not increased in size since
yesterday morning and is now 90% contained and approximately 1,350 acres. Water
drops continued to be successful and ground crews made substantial progress in
extinguishing hot spots along the perimeter. An additional ground crew was inserted via
helicopter into the southeast portion of the involved area to continue mitigation efforts.

HFD’s drone team will conduct a fire watch starting at sundown. HFD will do another air
reconnaissance at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Favorable weather conditions for fire fighting will continue. The National Weather
Service forecasts a 90% chance of rain tonight and a 60% chance of rain throughout
Tuesday for the fire area.

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