Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site re-opened to the public Thursday morning, including its visitor center, trails, and parking area. The Kawaihae park had been closed since Sunday due to a fast-moving brushfire in Kawaihae that burned more than 3,000 acres. The fire wiped out vegetation but did not damage historical structures.
