Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
AINA ALLIANCE HAS CONDUCTED WILDFIRE PREVENTION & MITIGATION ACTIVITIES NEAR ANAHOLA, HAWAII FOR THREE YEARS BY REMOVING FLAMMABLE FUELS IN 68 ABANDONED VEHICLES, CREATING AN INTRICATE SYSTEM OF FIRE BREAKS AND ACCESS ROADS AND INCREASING DEFENSIBLE SPACES. THIS WORK SAVED THE COMMUNITY OF ANAHOLA ON THE NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 WHEN A WILDFIRE STARTED IN THE DRY GRASS AND QUICKLY MAGNIFIED. 30 FOOT FLAMES WERE FUELED BY THE TRADE WINDS THAT PUSHED AN ENORMOUS BLACK CLOUD OF TOXIC SMOKE INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. POLICE EVACUATED RESIDENTS AS HOT ASHES RAINED DOWN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY BATTLE THE BLAZE BECAUSE THE ACCESS ROADS AND FIRE BREAKS ALLOWED THEM TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE FROM ALL ANGLES. OUR WORK SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES, HOMES AND PROPERTY.
