Wildfire July 30, 2021 – July 31, 2021 · Kohala, Hawaii
The wider storm
One of the largest brush fires in Hawaii County history started in the morning hours of Friday, July 30th, in the South Kohala District along Mana Road near Parker Ranch land. The wind-swept blaze blackened more than 40,000 acres of mainly dry pastureland and grasses, though the fire forced the evacuation of Waikoloa Village for a time as the month turned to August. The blaze also destroyed two homes in the area. The fire, as mentioned above, stretched into August. The cost of damages was unavailable, and the cause of the blaze was unknown.
