Ranch Camp Fire Comes Too Close for Comfort
By The Molokai Dispatch Staff
Residents in Ranch Camp had a close call with a brush fire on Saturday, May 24. Around 2:30 p.m., about three acres went up in flames, coming close to homes at the top of the residential area. As firefighters worked to control the blaze with air assistance from a helicopter making water drops, residents assisted with garden hoses to protect their yards.
No buildings were damaged and the fire was under control just after 3 p.m., and extinguished around 7 p.m. that evening. The Maui Fire Department says the cause of the fire is undetermined.
