..."The Hawaii National Guard has been activated to help with the wildfires on Hawaii's Big Island1. The fires, caused by lightning strikes, have burned about 1,500 acres at the Pohakuloa Training Area, and three Army helicopters have joined the firefighting effort2. The U.S. Coast Guard has also responded to areas where people went into the ocean to escape the fire and smoky conditions3. Multiple roads in Lahaina have been closed, and people are advised not to go to Lahaina town3."
