Wind fuels stubborn brush fire in Lualualei

Swirling winds made it difficult last night for firefighters to control a Leeward brush fire. No homes were threatened, but officials closed Lualualei Naval Access Road to traffic while crews from 11 Honolulu Fire Department companies and four federal fire department units joined forces to try to bring the blaze under control.

“;A flank of the fire is moving up the hillside, and winds are changing directions,”; said fire Capt. Terry Seelig.

Altogether, 60 firefighters fought the fire on the ground in addition to the Fire Department helicopter.

Seelig said firefighters were doing a watch last night because the fire was in an inaccessible area. The fire was reported at 5:15 p.m. and had burned about 200 acres by 6:30 p.m.
