Summertime…."KEAHI” the Fire!
Ah yes! It’s officially summertime in our neck of the woods. How do we know that? It’s like my hanai daughter WiRed stated on her site. It is time for all the brush fires in Waianae.
Every year all these juveniles think it’s fun setting fires all over Waianae. Sometimes we have 3 fires going on in three different places. It is fun and games to them, but they don’t realize or don’t even give a rats ass that they are jeopardizing other peoples lives and homes. Our family has had alot of close calls through all the years that we have lived in this valley.
We have had to go out in our yards and shoot down the yard and roofs of the houses because the field or mountain behind us is on fire. There are times when I wish that the kids or young adults who are doing this get caught in thier own wrath. You know where I’m coming from? They think it’s so funny watching the fire department go crazy because there’s 2 different fires going on at the same time.
They have no inclination of what would happen if the fire traveled down to the homes that are so nearby. Either that, or they really don’t give a fuck. We have fire companies from other towns coming to help fight “Keahi”.
The smoke is bad, especially for those who have a respiratory problem like my husband and my daughter. Sometimes they have to close part of the road, which causes a major traffic problem for Waianae, cause there is only one way in and one way out. WTF!
Maybe someday one of these culprits will get caught and they’ll get thier day. I say: don’t lock them up, turn them over to the towns people so they can get thier asses kicked big time!
