Wildfire August 22, 2014 – August 31, 2014 · Wainae Mountains, Hawaii

The wider storm

A blaze, started by 7-year-old twin brothers playing with a lighter, blackened more than 1000 acres of brush in West Oahu near Makakilo. The fire forced residents of about 20 homes to evacuate the area for three days, and one home suffered minor damage of a scorched wall and door. The blaze continued to smolder and occasionally reignite in inaccessible areas through the end of the month. No serious injuries were reported.
