Firefighters continued to battle a series of suspicious brushfires on Moloka'i yesterday.

Maui Assistant Fire Chief Greg Chong Kee said crews were "mopping up hot spots," but there was still potential that one of the six fires could burn out of control again. About

700 acres were blackened, with the largest fire burning about 400 acres.

No homes or farms were in danger.
