It was a crazy sight! I was attending the Bat Boy auditions at 1:30 and the helicopter was circling right there filling buckets of water! Flames were high, but the Fire Dept got it out fast and we were able to hold auditions at the Community Center in Wainaku. The police did divert traffic for an hour or so to keep the park area clear.
