ahaina fire flareup forces Lahaina Bypass road closure; shelter in place encouraged Lahaina Fire Update No. 3 at 4:45 p.m.: An apparent flareup of the Lahaina fire forced the closure of Lahaina Bypass around 3:30 p.m. Evacuations are occurring in the vicinities of Lahainaluna Road, Hale Mahaolu and Lahaina Bypass. Kahakuloa is closed to outside traffic. Only residents of the rural town of Kahakuloa Village are allowed to travel through the remote side of Kahekili Highway. People on the west side are advised to shelter in place unless evacuations are ordered. Multiple roads, including Honoapiʻilani Highway from Hōkiokio Place to Lahaina Bypass, are closed due to downed power lines. Fueled by strong wind from Hurricane Dora that is passing well south of Hawai’i, a brush fire of about three acres was reported at 6:37 a.m. today in the area of Lahainaluna Road. After area evacuations, the fire was declared 100% contained before 9 a.m. However, an afternoon flareup forced the closure of Lahaina Bypass. The American Red Cross opened Lahaina Civic Center as an evacuation center due to the fire and area power outages tied to high winds. The shelter will remain open until further notice. For people unable to return to the west side, Pukalani’s Hannibal Tavares Community Center is open as a shelter. Evacuees are reminded that emergency shelters do not provide bedding, toiletries and personal care items. Pet owners utilizing the shelter will need to have pets properly restrained.
