HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A group of Hawaii lawmakers tasked with identifying causes of wildfires and prevention methods wants to hear from you.

The “Wildfire Prevention Working Group” is in the process of writing a report outlining recommendation that will be submitted to the State Legislature next session.

They want the community’s input.

“I’d really like to get the word out about our hearings so that people know if they want to speak directly with the committee they have the opportunity to do it at the hearing,” said State Rep. Linda Ichiyama, the group’s co-chair.
