Iziteshi zesimo sezulu ezizenzakalelayo ezikude zisanda kufakwa e-Lahaina ezindaweni ezinotshani obuhlaselayo obungaba sengozini yemililo yequbula. Ubuchwepheshe buvumela i-Division of Forestry and Wildlife (i-DOFAW) ukuthi iqoqe idatha ukuze ibikezele ukuziphatha komlilo kanye nokuqapha izinto zokubasa zokubasa umlilo.
Lezi ziteshi ziqoqa idatha ehlanganisa imvula, isivinini somoya nendlela, izinga lokushisa lomoya, umswakama olinganiselwe, umswakama kaphethiloli, nemisebe yelanga kubaqaphi nabacimi bomlilo.
Kuneziteshi ezimbili eLahaina, kanti esisodwa singaphezulu kwe-Mā'alaea.
Idatha ye-RAWS iqoqwa njalo ngehora futhi idluliselwe kusathelayithi, bese iyithumela kukhompuyutha ku-National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) eBoise, Idaho.
Idatha iwusizo ekulawuleni umlilo wasendle kanye nesilinganiso sengozi yomlilo. Kukhona cishe amayunithi angu-2,800 kulo lonke elase-United States, e-Puerto Rico, e-Guam, nase-US Virgin Islands. Kuneziteshi ezingama-22 eHawaii.
Amayunithi eziteshi zesimo sezulu anamandla elanga futhi azenzakalela ngokuphelele.
"Okwamanje kunezindawo ezintathu eziphathwayo ezihlelwe ezungeze i-Lahaina ukuze uthole isimo sezulu sendawo esinembe kakhudlwana. Akukhona nje ukuthi iminyango yomlilo ibheka idatha kodwa idatha isetshenziswa abacwaningi besimo sezulu ngokubikezela nokumodela," kusho uDofaW Fire Protection Forester uMike Walker.
Abasebenzi be-DOFAW bahlola njalo ulwazi ku-inthanethi.
"Siqapha izinga lokushisa kanye nomswakama ukuze sibone ingozi yomlilo endaweni. Kuneziteshi kwezinye izindawo ezinamakhamera avumela ukusheshe kubonakale umlilo, sithemba ukuthi sizokwengeza amakhamera eziteshini zethu maduze," kusho u-Walker.
"Ziyithuluzi elihle lokunquma ingozi yomlilo, futhi sineziteshi ezimbili eziphathwayo ezingase zisetshenziswe ukuqapha izimo zomlilo zendawo. Enye ephathekayo yasetshenziswa ngesikhathi sokuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo yaseLeilani esiqhingini sase-Hawaiʻi ukuze kuqashwe isimo sezulu esitshalweni esishisayo. Ukugeleza kwe-lava kunqamule ukufinyelela futhi asikwazanga ukubuyela kuyo cishe unyaka wonke, "kusho u-Walker.
Nakuba amayunithi engase angakwazi ukukhombisa ukuthi ukhona yini umlilo osebenzayo, ulwazi, nedatha amayunithi ayiqoqayo kunenani elibalulekile ekuqapheni izinsongo zomlilo.
