Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - May 5, 2010

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

THE LATEST UPDATE ON THE WEST MAUI FIRE: IT'S STILL NOT CONTAINED - BUT MOST OF THE FIREFIGHTERS HAVE GONE HOME. THE NATURALLY STEEP TERRAIN AND RUNNING OUT OF DRY BRUSH KEPT THE 11-HUNDRED ACRE BURN TOTAL STATIC. FIFTEEN FIREFIGHTERS ATTENDED THE FIRE OVERNIGHT AND A CREW OF ABOUT 45 ARE THERE TODAY, ALTHOUGH THE OFFICIAL WORD IS THAT THE SITUATION IS - QUOTE - DIMINISHING.

GOOD NEWS FOR SOCIAL SERVICE WORKERS. TODAY THE STATE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE GOVERNOR'S VETO OF A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE CLOSED NEARLY ALL STATE WELFARE INTAKE CENTERS, WAS OVERRIDDEN BY LAWMAKERS AND THEY CAN'T CHANGE THAT. IT MEANS 228 INTAKE WORKERS WILL KEEP THEIR JOBS - AND SOCIAL SERVICE INTAKE CENTERS WILL REMAIN OPEN STATEWIDE.

ISLAND WEATHER, STATE CIVIL DEFENSE HAS ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING FOR CRITICAL BRUSH FIRE CONDITIONS. THAT WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH TOMORROW EVENING. OTHERWISE HAZY TONIGHT. LOOK FOR LOWS AROUND 65. TOMORROW, HAZY AND WARM WITH HIGHS IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S.
