An estimated 4,300 acres was charred in the Hāliʻimaile fire that started early Wednesday morning. Containment is now 75%. There are 25 Maui Fire personnel on scene this afternoon, including air support from the department's Air 1 and Air 2 helicopters.

The approximately 3,000-acre fire remains about a half mile away and does not pose any immediate threat. Fire crews continue to work on-scene and police are ready to respond, if needed.

Maui fire crews are responding to a fire reported below Hāli‘imaile Road along Haleakalā Highway. Residents report seeing the glow of the fire from nearby communities.

Water services along Baldwin Avenue between Ukiu Road and Hāliʻimaile Road, Pua ʻĀina Road, Freitas Place, ʻAʻala Place and Kaluanui Road are affected.

The accident occurred as a brown 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe multi-purpose vehicle was traveling south on Haliimaile Road when the operator lost control and the vehicle rolled over in the roadway. 

Due to repairs to a water main off Olinda Rd, low water pressure to a temporary interruption in water service may occur for some Makawao customers.

The Phase II, $3.9 million Rehabilitation Project on Baldwin Avenue is scheduled to start on Wednesday, March 8, 2017.

The Department of Water Supply will be doing waterline maintenance work at the Poʻokela Tank site in the Olinda area on from 11 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9 to 5 a.m., Wednesday, June 10.
