A vehicle that was apparently set on fire started a brush fire that burned about an acre above Olowalu General Store before it was extinguished Tuesday night, a fire official said.
The fire was reported at 5:04 p.m., with engine crews from Lahaina, Napili and Wailuku responding along with a Kahului tanker company.
Firefighters made their way about a quarter-mile above the store to reach the fire, said Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga. The fire was contained at 5:49 p.m. and extinguished at 7:30 p.m., he reported.
No injuries or damages were reported. A West Maui Land Co. tanker also assisted in fighting the fire.
