A brush fire on Maui is nearly under control and residents have been allowed back home, a relief for an island still scarred by past wildfires.

• The Olowalu brush fire is 95% contained after burning more than 100 acres.
• Mandatory evacuation orders were lifted early this morning.
• The fire started Saturday afternoon and spread fast through dry brush.
• Residents along the affected stretch of road can return to their homes.

Outlook: Crews will keep working the last hot spots, with full containment expected soon barring a shift in wind or weather.
