Remote Schofield fire extinguished

A wildfire that burned about 230 acres in a remote area of Schofield Barracks was extinguished late yesterday by helicopter, an Army spokeswoman said today.

The fire, which began Saturday afternoon at the Wai'anae Mountain end of the Army's KR-6 Range, was in an area firefighters could not reach on foot, said Capt. Stacy Bathrick, spokeswoman for the 25th Infantry Division (Light) and U.S. Army Hawaii.

An Army Chinook and a Black Hawk helicopter were used, with help from a fire department helicopter, to douse the fire.

The range is used for training, but no one was using it when the fire started, Bathrick said.
