Lahaina property owners and residents for the area along Kaniau Road will be allowed in from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and Tuesday as long as they have vehicle passes, which will be available from Saturday through Sunday at the Lahaina Civic Center, Maui County announced tonight.

Two vehicle passes per dwelling will be allowed but drivers will be stopped at a checkpoint in order to gain entry.

County officials have been warning about potentially toxic air from the Aug. 8 wildfire that killed 97 people and optional personal protective equipment kits will be provided when vehicle passes are distributed.

The first official entries into Lahaina follow demands from residents that continue more than a month after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in over a century.
