Your comment is a little confusing to me.

>>The priority should be to stop the spread of fire not prevent houses being burned down.

This would imply you think DLNR should have released the water the West Maui Land Co. as they were using it to "help prevent the spread of fire" (direct quote from your quote). Yet you say at the beginning.

>>Reading the article this seems perfectly fine.

Do you believe DLNR acted appropriately by not releasing the water which increased the spread of fire or do you believe DLNR should have released the water to help stop the spread of fire?
