The volunteer fleet is usually better suited to access the rugged terrain and <br />roads of the unimproved communities which they serve. <br />• The 30,000-gallon catchment tank which serves as a primary water source for fire <br />protection in the Hawaiian Acres Community ruptured due to age and possibly an <br />earthquake. The Hawaii Fire Department is working with County Councilman Matt <br />Kanealii-Kleinfelder, Mayor Roth, and the Hawaiian Acres Community Association to <br />replace this important piece of infrastructure. <br />
