Without the aid of the Big Islands 1st responders the simultaneously occurring wildfires on the Island of Hawaii would have continued out of control and affected the resort hotels and housing development along the Kohala coast. The WCA provided food and drink for the firefighters every day for a week while they fought fires and built firebreaks. 0 13996 44726 JAMES HUSTACE PRESIDENT 10 0 0 0 Mary Beth Lachak VICE PRESIDENT 5 0 0 0 VICTOR TOM TREASURER 5 0 0 0 NANCY CARR SMITH SECRETARY 5 0 0 0 PATRICIA COOK DIRECTOR 5 0 0 0 DAVID GREENWELL DIRECTOR 5 0 0 0 WHITNEY HARVEY DIRECTOR 5 0 0 0 LANI OLSEN-CHONG DIRECTOR 5 0 0 0 RILEY SMITH DIRECTOR 5 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER WONG DIRECTOR 5 0 0 0 X true true false false false 0 false false false false HI Victor Tom PO Box 2622 KAMUELA HI 96743 8088876006 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE X 5524 6368 12354 26100 67313 117659 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5524 6368 12354 26100 67313 117659 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 117659 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5524 6368 12354 26100 67313 117659 1 1 0 0.00 X Part III General Not Applicable.
