There were no damages to the property or injuries. The blaze’s cause has not been determined. Big Island police are investigating.
Kona patrol officers responded to the brush fire at 2:40 a.m. Saturday. Upon their arrival, officers observed a large plume of smoke, but the fire was not easily visible from the roadway.
Hualālai Road between Kuakini Highway and Aloha Kona Drive was closed for a little more than an hour as Hawai‘i Fire Department personnel extinguished the blaze.
