HONOLULU (AP) _ The Honolulu Fire Department has turned the investigation of this month's Waialua wildfire over to police. Fire officials say investigators have determined the blaze was set August 12th in a pile of dried brush. The blaze burned out of control for several days before being extinguished Tuesday. More than 7,000 acres were blackened. But there were no reports of injuries and no structures were burned. (Copyright 2007 Associated Press. All rights reserved)
