The Kahikinui brush fire has spread to 500 acres mauka of the Pi’ilani Highway near mile marker 24 and 25, according to a news release from Maui County. A containment percentage has not yet been determined, the release said, and no injuries or structural damages have been reported.

About 50 residents on Maui evacuated their homes as a fast-moving brush fire fueled by strong winds encroached on their rural community. Fire officials say the brush fire in East Maui grew to about 500 acres on Sunday night,
