The Ukumehame Firing Range is expected to reopen Friday after repairs were made to storm-damaged berms and surrounding areas, according to the County of Maui Department of Parks and Recreation.

The firing range was closed after the facility was inundated by floodwater from two kona low storms in March that eroded berms and damaged other parts of the range.

The Department of Public Works provided heavy equipment that restored berms at the pistol and rifle ranges.

Ukumehame Firing Range is the only public firing range on Maui. Law enforcement officers and private citizens both use it for target practice. Stakeholders who use the facility on a scheduled basis were notified by the department about the reopening plan.
