Firefighters battling brushfire in Laie

Honolulu firefighters are battling a fire on a ridge near the Laie trail.

Officials say pine trees caught on fire early Sunday morning around 8:00 a.m.

The flames are slow-moving, and crews are dropping water from the air.

No homes are in jeopardy.

A red flag warning is in effect for the leeward sides of the islands through 6 p.m. Sunday. 
The warning means there is the potential for any fires that start, to grow rapidly because of the combination of these conditions: strong and gusty trades, warm temperatures, around 80 degrees and low humidity.
