refighters on the Hawaiian island of Oahu—on which Honolulu is situated—are battling a bush fire near the town of Wahiawa after a series of large wildfires tore across the nearby island of Maui last week.
Fire crews were called out at around 4 p.m. local time (10 p.m. ET) on Wednesday to an area near the Kukaniloko Birth Stones—a historic site thought to be the birthplace of royals during the time of the Kingdom of Hawaii, to the north of Wahiawa—according to various local reports.
