Kekaha — Firefighters extinguished four brush fires in Kekaha, in an area about 25 feet

No injuries were reported.
Firefighters from the Waimea and Hanapepe fire stations responded to the brush fires
that were reported approximately 2:40 p.m.
Firefighters from the Waimea station first arrived on scene at approximately 2:45 p.m.

brush fires closer to the harbor entrance.

at approximately 4 p.m.
The cause of the fires are under investigation.
