Kahului Fire Station, County Building to be lit red in remembrance of fallen firefighters

The Kahului Fire Station and Kalana O Maui County Building will be lit red this week in remembrance of fallen firefighters, including County of Maui Firefighter Tre' Evans-Dumaran.

County of Maui Fire Chief Brad Ventura and members of the Maui Fire Department's Honor Guard will attend the event.
