The house that burned was behind the Olowalu Store, county officials said. No other structures were burned.

Firefighters suspect that the blaze started about 100 yards behind the store. Maui Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Neal Bal said officials are interviewing someone who may have accidentally started the fire. Firefighters do not suspect that the fire was related to fireworks.

As the fire continues to burn in an inaccessible area, firefighters are working around perimeter areas in hopes of keeping flames from reaching Olowalu and Launiupoko area homes, Bal said.

The fire is now 80 percent contained, a county spokeswoman said at 2:30 p.m.

No injuries have been reported.

Since the fire broke out at about 10:30 a.m. yesterday, gusty winds have change direction several times. Winds are continuing to gust at up to 35 mph in the area.

"When it was raging yesterday it was burning 360 degrees" — in all directions," Bal said. "It was a firestorm, picking up flames up and throwing them all over the place," with some touching down a quarter-mile away.

Between 60 and 70 firefighters are battling the fire today, including 14 firefighters from the state Department of Land and Natural Resources' Division of Forestry and Wildlife.
