Maui wildfire keeps power off and evacuation orders in place
A wildfire on Maui is mostly under control, but thousands of people are still without power and some residents remain evacuated.
- The Olowalu fire has burned over 100 acres and is now 70% contained after a weekend of firefighting.
- No homes have been damaged so far.
- Strong winds are keeping helicopters on the ground unless there is an emergency.
- The evacuation order for Olowalu Village is still in place, with a shelter open at the Lahaina Civic Center.
- More than 10,000 customers in West Maui are without power, and Hawaiian Electric says outages could last through Monday.
Outlook: Crews expect to finish containing the fire soon, but power and evacuation orders depend on how fast the winds die down.
