July 11, 2024

Although no evacuation orders have been issued for the Haleakala Crater Road Fire, Maui Emergency Management Agency continues to encourage residents -- above Kekaulike and Haleakala highways between Upper Kimo and Waipoli roads -- to prepare for potential evacuation and monitor radio, TV and mobile devices for official information.

The Crater Road fire is 10% contained at 410 acres as of 6:15 this morning, July 11, 2024, according to Maui Fire Department. The focus for multiple ground and air crews remains on stopping progress toward residences and building control lines.

Multiple MFD ground units, state Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife, National Parks firefighting crews, five dozers and three helicopters are currently responding to the fire.

Crater Road at Mile Marker 2 was closed early this morning by Maui Police Department. Haleakala National Park and Crater Road between mile markers 8 and 10 were closed the evening of July 10.

All of the approximately 150 to 200 vehicles above the impacted area were released in a safe, coordinated effort last night. No injuries have been reported and no structures have been damaged in the brush fire.

MEMA issued an informational message at 3:04 a.m. asking residents in homes above Kekaulike and Haleakala highways between Upper Kimo and Waipoli roads to prepare for potential evacuation, but added that a follow-up message for evacuations will be deemed, if necessary.

MEMA’s Emergency Operations Center was partially activated at 8:02 p.m. July 10 in response to the fire.
