Kauaʻi County sent crews to help us clear hundreds of downed trees across Oʻahu after Tropical Storm Lala. They are incredibly skilled with a chainsaw, which is a must when dealing with huge trunks and limbs that can be very dangerous. A huge mahalo goes out to our friends from the Garden Isle and Mayor Derek Kawakami!
