A brushfire in Wai'anae near the site of the former Toledo Dairy off Pahe'ehe'e Road has burned about 10 acres since it broke out about 10:30 this morning.

Eleven engine companies, four water tankers and their crews, a ladder truck and brushfire truck are at the scene, said Honolulu Fire Department officials.

The 50 firefighters battling the blaze have it about 90 percent contained, officials said.
