Nanakuli brush fires intentionally set

Police have no leads in their arson investigation after seven suspicious wildfires in less than two hours in Nanakuli. The first call came in at 3:15 a.m. and the last one was received at 5 a.m. on Wednesday.

The largest blaze, which scorched about a quarter of an acre, came as close as 20 yards to a townhouse complex on Helelua Street. Residents were unsettled by the news that the fire was one of several small blazes that appeared to be intentionally set.

"It's kind of scary," said resident Karolann Nera. "Especially close to home, and just hopefully it's not one of these people that are doing it deliberately just for the fun of it."

"No property was damaged, but to the people living there, it's a major concern and us as well cause we don't want to have anybody hurt or their property destroyed," said Capt. Terry Seelig of the Honolulu Fire Department.

Woman killed, 7 others injured in Nanakuli crash

NANAKULI, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow)- One woman has died and several others were injured during a multi-vehicle car crash in Nanakuli on Sunday night.

Police closed two west bound lanes and one east bound lane of Farrington Highway near the Kahe Power Station as they investigated the crash, which occurred shortly before 8:30 p.m., according to police.

Police investigators say the crash happened when a car being driven by 34-year-old Margaret Lavin, of Mililani, was heading east on Farrington Highway.  Police say she crossed the center median into oncoming traffic, sideswiping another car. The two occupants of that car, an adult woman and a female child, were uninjured.

After crossing the center median and sideswiping one car, police say the vehicle then continued heading east and slammed into a third car containing seven occupants.

Lavin was reportedly thrown from her vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
