A fast-moving brush fire fueled by fierce winds has forced the evacuation of over 100 homes on the Hawaii island of Maui, about 60 miles from the scene of a devastating fire two years ago that killed more than 100 people in the historic town of Lahaina.

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.

Firefighters in Hawaii's Maui County have evacuated 105 homes due to a fast-moving brush fire in Kahikinui. Fueled by strong winds, the blaze expanded to 500 acres. Emergency proclamations were signed to activate the National Guard and access federal assistance.
