The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (EMA) posted on X (formerly Twitter) that day, "An evacuation order has been issued on Maui Island due to a localized wildfire," and "Immediately evacuate your family and pets without delay." They also advised, "Prepare for conditions that may make driving difficult and look for public safety personnel operating in the area."

The evacuation order covered the area from Anapuni Loop to West Mahipulu in Lahaina, Maui Island, just a few kilometers away from the site of the wildfire that occurred on the 8th, which caused over 100 deaths.

However, Hawaiian authorities later announced that "firefighters on site have contained the flames, and there is no further threat." The authorities lifted the evacuation order shortly thereafter.
