A special blessing ceremony was held at the site of the future Olowalu Fire Station in West Maui recently, with groundbreaking to be announced soon. Supporters say this future fire station will be a critical asset for the region ensuring faster response times and greater protection for the community and its natural resources, especially in the face of increasing wildfire threats. The property is behind the Olowalu General Store and Leoda’s Kitchen and Pie Shop. Developer Peter Martin reportedly donated a 5-acre parcel of the subdivision for the station.
