Record wildfire burns on Hawaii s Big Island
Firefighters have gotten more control over a wildfire in Hawaii that forced thousands of people to evacuate over the weekend and destroyed at least two homes on the Big Island, but officials warned strong winds Monday could raise the danger again.
Authorities have lifted evacuation orders but warned they could be reinstated at any time and that people should be ready to go.
âItâs the biggest (fire) weâve ever had on this island,â Big Island Mayor Mitch Roth said of the more than 160-square-kilometre blaze.
