Brush fire that forced evacuation of luxury Maui resort is seen in background on January 6, 2019
From the Source:
A luxury Maui resort was evacuated Sunday night as a fast-moving brush fire swept through Wailea, CBS Hawaii affiliate KGMB reports. Guests and employees at Hotel Wailea, a five-star resort, were evacuated at about 8:30 p.m., almost two hours after the wind-whipped blaze started.
Hotel Wailea shut off propane tanks and police were on the property knocking on doors telling people to leave.
The American Red Cross of Hawaii opened an emergency shelter at a local community center to assist affected visitors and residents.
