About 35 firefighters fought the flames on the ground while four choppers in the air dumped 150 to 200 gallons of water on hot spots on Sunday. Approximately 60 firefighters battled the blaze on Saturday and more than 100 were on scene on Friday when the fire first broke out. Twenty homes on Palehua Ridge were in danger. The homes on the ridge are surrounded by tall trees making it very dangerous and difficult to protect. Firefighters spent Friday and Saturday night staged at each house and other assets like phone towers in the area.
