OAKLAND, Calif. – The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Region 9 Administrator authorized the use of federal funds to assist the State of Hawaii in combating the Kunia Road Fire burning in Honolulu County. 

On August 19, the State of Hawaii submitted a request for a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) declaration for the Kunia Road Fire. At the time of the request, the fire was threatening approximately 120 homes in and around Kunia Camp. Mandatory evacuations were taking place for approximately 400 people. The fire started on August 19 and has burned more than 406 acres. 

FMAGs provide federal funding for up to 75 percent of eligible firefighting costs. FMAGs are approved through FEMA to assist in fighting fires that threaten to become major incidents.

Eligible costs covered by FMAGs can include expenses for field camps, equipment use, materials, supplies and mobilization, and demobilization activities attributed to fighting the fire. For more information on FMAGs, visit fema.gov/assistance/public/fire-management-assistance.
