Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - April 24, 2008

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER I’M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST MELLOW FIRE IN COUNTY HISTORY. A FIRE LOCATED ON THE MOUNTAINSIDE ABOVE THE KIHEI JUNCTION AT KUIHELANI HIGHWAY IS STILL SMOLDERING. FIRE DEPARTMENT CREWS AND THE AIR ONE CHOPPER ARE ON THE SCENE. THE FIRE STARTED JUST BEFORE THREE THIS MORNING AND - AS OF 3 O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON, WAS STILL NOT OFFICIALLY CONTAINED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO INJURIES REPORTED, AND NO HOMES ARE THREATENED.

SMOKE. THAT'S JUST WHAT WE NEED TODAY. FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS MONTH, A HEALTH ALERT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY MAUI COUNTY CIVIL DEFENSE BECAUSE OF VOG FROM HAWAII. SULFUR DIOXIDE LEVELS FROM THE ONGOING ERUPTIONS AT THE KILAUEA VOLCANO ARE CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS TO THOSE WITH RESPIRATORY OR LUNG CONDITIONS. THE ALERT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH 6 P.M. TOMORROW. BY THE WAY, THE ALERT INCLUDES A BURN BAN HERE ON MAUI.
