WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency on Saturday briefly issued an evacuation order for West Maui due to brush fire.
The order was in place for Anapuni Loop to West Mahipulu, the agency said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The order was subsequently lifted after firefighters stopped forward movement of the fire, the agency said in a follow-up post.
Expect conditions that may make driving difficult and watch for public safety personnel operating in the area," the order said.
