Brushfire at Pohiki - Kapohocat - 01-17-2015 Looks to be in the triangle between the bypass, the dock side and the old road. 137 and Pohiki Rd closed 1/2 mi each direction. Helio doing water drops. RE: Brushfire at Pohiki - palanist - 01-17-2015 Have they put it out? RE: Brushfire at Pohiki - ironyak - 01-17-2015 About 3:25p HAWAII POLICE DEPT: Route 137 (Kapoho to Kalapana Road) and Pohoiki park/boat ramp reopened www.nixle.us/8KNL9 RE: Brushfire at Pohiki - Royall - 01-17-2015 went down there to dive today and got there before they closed the road. Lots of smoke and fire. burnt right up to the back side of the bathrooms. Looked like it could have easily jumped the road but the got it under control and almost completely our by the time we left to come home about 2:30..... RE: Brushfire at Pohiki - Obie - 01-17-2015 Hawaii News Now just reported it was caused by the lava flow ! RE: Brushfire at Pohiki - TomK - 01-17-2015 I saw that too. Stunning ignorance. Edited. Now the lava flow is a "possible cause". "No injuries have been reported. The Puna lava flow is the possible cause of the fire but has not yet been confirmed." http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/27877590/brush-fire-breaks-out-in-pohoiki RE: Brushfire at Pohiki - kalakoa - 01-18-2015 Stunning ignorance. Puna all looks the same from Oahu. RE: Brushfire at Pohiki - mikevaz - 01-19-2015 I drove by yesterday and I thought it looked a little...empty by the crossroads. Any word on how it actually started? Someone in the comments on FB says that someone threw their BBQ coals into the bush: https://www.facebook.com/HawaiiNewsNow/posts/10152963752205479 How am I not myself? |
