Honolulu ocean safety said, it also helped six hikers off Kaena point.
“We’re very happy,” said Janet Gilbert, a beachgoer. “I understand that six hikers were already rescued off the trail. I don’t think it’s anything you can mess with especially with the winds and how fast the fire has traveled.”
So far, approximately 20 acres have burned.
HFD said the fire was 90% contained on Monday night.
According to a media release at 10 a.m., the park was reclosed on Tuesday after the fire rekindled.
