At 4:11 p.m., although no evacuation orders have been given, residents above Kekaulike and Haleakala highways between Upper Kimo and Waipoli roads are encouraged to prepare for potential evacuations.
Fire in a eucalyptus grove on the mauka flank of the burn area has been problematic, according to MEMA.
MFD said the fire grew from 355 acres Friday morning to approximately 550 acres Friday evening.
As of Friday, 8 p.m., fire was extinguished on the south side. The eucalyptus trees are still burning at a slow pace on the east mauka side.
