Maui County Fire Department

September 11th, 2001. A day forever etched in the minds of those who were alive at that time.

Today we look back at 25 years ago. As a fire department, we honor the 343 FDNY firefighters who gave their all in the effort to save others. We honor their courage and spirit. We also want to thank those who spent the following months digging through the rubble in an attempt to find the remains of those who perished and to bring their fallen brothers home, often at the cost of their own lives.

Changing driving culture takes a whole community.

When students, educators, first responders, and highway workers stand together, road safety becomes a shared responsibility and safer choices become the way we protect one another

🚧 Flagman at Lihikai Elementary! 🚧
A big mahalo to our incredible community partners, first responders, highway heroes, educators, and families who came together to bring Flagman’s lifesaving road-safety mission to Lihikai Elementary. This powerful collaboration is helping create safer choices, stronger communities, and the next generation of road-safety advocates! 💛

After Hurricane Lowell, many of our beaches have changed. New hazards have emerged and will continue to emerge as the beaches settle and begin to recover.

Be cautious before you enter the water. Anticipate that underwater features may have moved, been covered, and new ones may be exposed. This may change the way currents behave, and the places where waves break.

Check with our Ocean Safety Officers before you enter the water.

As you clean up from Hurricane Lowell, please do not dump yard waste into gulches, over fences or walls, or onto vacant land. All this does is create a pile of fuel as it dries out and puts your home and your neighbors’ homes at risk during a wildfire.

The County’s landfills, as well as many independent facilities will take green waste so that it can be mulched down and disposed of properly.

Many of Maui's beaches do not have lifeguards at them.

Stay out of brown and murky water until the conditions improve. The shorelines and near-shore areas have changed over the last few days because of heavy surf, strong winds, and water levels higher than normal. Be cautious of debris that may be in the water, and new hazards that may have become exposed along the beach.

Be cautious and wary around the shorelines due to the changes that have occurred because of Hurricane Lowell.
