Haleakalā Crater Road Fire Update #1
July 11, 2024, 2:00 p.m. HST
Aloha kākou,
A wildfire has been burning on the island of Maui near the road leading to Haleakalā National Park’s Summit District since last
night. As of 11 a.m. the 420-acre wildfire was 15% contained. Government and private sector resources have been working hard to
fight the fire, which is not threatening homes or businesses at this time.
Key information for visitors:
* Haleakalā National Park’s Summit District is closed until further notice and is not accessible at this time.
* Haleakalā National Park sunrise reservations are canceled until further notice. Haleakalā National Park’s Kīpahulu District in
East Maui remains open.
* The fire is many miles away from Kahului Airport and Maui’s resort areas. Road closures at this time are limited to roadways in
the area approaching Haleakalā’s summit.
General tips for fire safety for visitors:
* Avoid driving vehicles on dry grass or brush, including pulling over or parking. Heat from a vehicle’s engine and undercarriage
could start a fire.
* Always dispose of cigarettes responsibly.
* If you see smoke or signs of a fire, call 911.
The Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority is actively monitoring the situation and is in continuous communication with state and county
emergency management officials, as well as our Global Marketing Team and visitor industry partners and will provide updates.

HTA recognizes the use of the 'okina ['] or glottal stop, one of the eight consonants of the (modern) Hawaiian language; and the
kahakō [ō] or macron (e.g., in place names of Hawai'i such as Lāna'i). However, HTA respects the individual use of these markings
for names of organizations and businesses.
