KPD closed Kapaʻa Bypass but DOT said it has since reopened.

Kauai County announced just before 3 p.m. that the fire was contained but KFD remains on-site to monitor hot spots.

This is the second brush fire in just over 24 hours on Kauai.

A brush fire between Hanapepe and Kaumakani Monday scorched 1,100 acres and was 100% contained by Midnight.

The KIUC implemented a de-energization in the affected areas and restored power shortly after 3 a.m. Tuesday.

No homes were destroyed and no injuries were reported.

Officials ask that the public not call 911 for updates but instead call (808) 241-1725.
