Hawaii Island police announced the start of an arson investigation into the Ka brushfire after hearing from Hawaii County that the Hawaii Fire Department had put out the brushfires in Naalehu and Pahala. The Ka brushfire was found to have started under suspicious circumstances, according to police.
The Hawaii Fire Department was informed of numerous brushfires on Mill Camp Road in Pahala in the late afternoon of August 9. Upon arrival, they discovered two distinct fires, one on each side of Mill Camp Road. According to a news release, they were blazing in the same location, but the fires’ origins seemed to be distinct.
Investigators discovered that one of the fires was caused by an unsupervised cooking fire.
Because detectives discovered an incendiary device on the street where they think the second fire began, it’s possible that it was set deliberately.
The fire departments put out both fires.
According to the inquiry, a man driving a green all-terrain vehicle was seen leaving the area of Mill Camp Road shortly after the flames started. His current identity is unknown.
Police claim that there is no connection between the fires in Pahala and those in the North and South Kohala Districts. There is no known reason for those fires.
