UPDATE: The Mililani Mauka Incident Management Team (IMT) resumed fire suppression operations this morning to continue mitigation efforts at the wildland fire above Mililani Mauka. The fire is located in a remote, mountainous area with steep, dangerous terrain on private lands, Kamehameha Schools lands and the O‛ahu Forest National Wildlife Refuge. The fire is currently 90% contained and current acreage is approximately 1,638 acres due to more accurate mapping. Acreage will continue to be refined and fluctuations in these figures do not indicate that the fire is growing or expanding in size, as there has been minimal fire activity during recent operational periods.

There is currently one Hawaiʻi Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, one Hawaiʻi Army National Guard CH-47 Chinook aircraft, and one United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) contracted helicopter. Ground crews include an interagency hotshot crew, one wildland fire module, ten smokejumpers and two helicopter modules. There are a total of 85 personnel assigned to the fire. The Honolulu Fire Department and Department of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) continue to assist with support staff and personnel.

The fire area has received close to an inch of rain since Sunday evening and there remains an 80% chance of rain today as the trade winds continue. During the Red Flag Warning on Sunday night, the fire crossed Kῑpapa Stream and Kῑpapa Trail and was detected late Monday afternoon when visibility improved. This portion of fire was not actively growing any longer due to the rainfall Sunday night. Smokejumpers were inserted to the area and were able to extinguish hot spots close to the fire perimeter. Work will continue to minimize fire spread on the east and southeastern portion of the fire edge, in order to prevent further impacts to the Oahu Forest National Wildlife Refuge. The O‛ahu Forest National Wildlife Refuge protects some of the last remaining intact native forest on the island and supports at least 22 federally listed species, including native plants.

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