HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Hawaii County Fire Chief Kazuo Todd joined HNN’s Sunrise Saturday to talk about his office’s efforts to educate residents about the importance of fire safety and wildfire prevention.
As the chair of Hawaii’s State Fire Council, he is also working on reviving the Office of the State Fire Marshal, boosted by new support in the wake of the Lahaina disaster.
On Friday, HECO released details of its wildfire mitigation plan, including efforts to work with property owners to trim vegetation and spread awareness about its Public Safety Power Shutoff Program, or PSPS. The program aims to preemptively shut off power for customers in high-wind, high-risk areas when faced with a threat.
Todd said he’s talking to groups about knowing what a Red Flag Day is and how to prepare for a wildfire.
