HONOLULU (AP) — A fast-moving Hawaii brush fire fueled by fierce winds forced the evacuation of about 50 Maui residents on the opposite side of the same island where a devastating blaze killed over 100 people two years ago. The fire started Sunday in a sparsely populated area with land set aside for Native Hawaiians.

Maui County firefighters are continuing efforts to contain the Kahikinui brush fire that ignited Sunday morning and quickly spread across dry and steep terrain near Piʻilani Highway.
