Question: What are the parking rules regarding fire hydrants? If it is illegal, who can I contact to report this issue? Recently, this has become an ongoing issue on my street.
To help prevent future wildfires like the one that destroyed Lahaina, the U.S. Forest Service recently wrapped up a training exercise on Kauai with federal, state and county firefighters.
Last week, experts from the US Forest Service wrapped up ignition training by conducting a field exercise on former agriculture lands in south Kaua‘i. Hundreds of acres here are covered in invasive grasses, the most common fuel for wildfire in Hawai‘i. Some 25% of the land across the state is covered by these grasses, adding to the overall potential for devastating wildfires.
Officials were concerned about a high-wind advisory in effect for the eastern islands, with winds strengthening statewide overnight and gusts of up to 50 mph possible through today.
