episode_narrativeNine separate blazes on the lee side of the Big Island of Hawaii kept firefighters busy in the final days of October 2007. The fires consumed approximately 2500 acres of brush from northwest of Kawaihae to southwest of Waikoloa. County officials believed the fires were deliberately set. An estimated 400 residents of Puako had to be evacuated on Sunday, October 28th, because of thick smoke in the area. They were allowed to return to their homes Sunday evening. Culturally sensitive archaeological sites near Puako complicated the firefighting efforts to some extent. Instead of using bulldozers to battle the fire in that area, they used saws and other hand tools to prevent possible damage to the cultural sites. The fires were contained by the 31st. There were no reports of serious injuries or property damage.
