Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - May 6, 2010

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

THAT STUBBORN BRUSH FIRE IN WEST MAUI IS NOW ABOUT 70 PERCENT CONTAINED. FIRE CREWS BATTLED HOT SPOTS OVERNIGHT AND POLICE BRIEFLY CLOSED HONOAPI'ILANI HIGHWAY THIS AFTERNOON AROUND ONE O'CLOCK BECAUSE OF REDUCED VISIBILITY FROM SMOKE. IT'S OPEN AS OF NOW - BUT YOU SHOULD EXPECT INTERMITTENT DELAYS. FLAMES ARE NOWHERE NEAR HOMES AND NO INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ASIDE FROM A FIREFIGHTER OVERWHELMED BY HEAT ON MONDAY. HE WAS TREATED AND RELEASED BY PARAMEDICS.

AND IT WAS A BIG TRAFFIC DELAY STARTING LAST NIGHT IN MAKAWAO. A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AROUND 8-30 ON BALDWIN AVENUE NEAR THE HUI NO'EAU VISUAL ARTS CENTER KNOCKED DOWN ONE TELEPHONE POLE, THAT - IN TURN - PULLED DOWN TWO MORE POLES. TRAFFIC WAS CLOSED UNTIL NEW POLES COULD BE PUT UP AND REWIRED THIS MORNING AROUND 6-30.A.M

ISLAND WEATHER, THAT RED FLAG WARNING FOR CRITICAL BRUSH FIRE CONDITIONS REMAINS THROUGH TOMORROW. OTHERWISE HAZY TONIGHT. LOOK FOR LOWS AROUND 65. TOMORROW, HAZY AND WARM WITH HIGHS IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S.

AND LOOK FOR AN ALL-NEW EDITION OF MAUI TV NEWS LATER TONIGHT AT MAUITVNEWS-DOT-COM.

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