The Honolulu Fire Department can designate parts of Ewa Gentry as hazardous fire areas under NFPA 1, triggering stricter vegetation, ignition, and defensible-space rules for adjacent owners.
Honolulu does not use a separate 'wildfire zone' ordinance. Instead, the Fire Chief uses the hazardous fire area concept in NFPA 1, adopted through ROH Chapter 20. In the Ewa Plain, where persistent trade winds meet fallow agricultural land, designations may extend along drainage canals, open pasture, and utility corridors that border Ewa Gentry neighborhoods. Within a designated area, owners must maintain firebreaks, avoid open-flame work during high-risk days, and comply with HFD directives on access, water supply, and ignition sources such as welding or mechanical clearing.
Non-compliance can lead to stop-work orders, abatement billing, and enhanced penalties if a fire escapes the parcel.
