Residents were forced to evacuate after brushfires swept through parts of Kaanapali, Hawaii on Aug. 26. But unlike the deadly wildfires on Aug. 8, authorities acted swiftly to end the emergency.
Using a helicopter from above and water cannons from the ground, firefighters doused flames in two hours, preventing further damage. There were no reported casualties.
The fire broke out at around 12:45 p.m. near the Kaanapali resort area where many of the wildfire victims from Lahaina are now staying.
By 2:45 p.m., a Maui County alert said "firefighters had stopped forward progress of the fire. No additional threats or evacuation order (sic) are in place."
