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.

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."
