Smoke from charred Waialua area prompts water drops

Advertiser Staff

The Honolulu Fire Department helicopter today was doing water drops on the Wai'anae mountain side of Kaukonahua Road scorched recently by a brushfire.

HFD spokesman Capt. Terry Seelig said signs of smoke were visible on the Wai'anae flank of the mountainside resulting in the water drops at 3:52 p.m.

The smoke is in an area that is high and there's no immediate threat to property, Seelig said.
