Check USGS HVO; Hawaii Civil Defense for more info:Firefighters standing by to tackle any spreading wildfires let the flames consume the 1,100-square-foot (100-sq metre) structure on Monday afternoon as a relative of the homeowner watched and recorded video of the destruction with an iPhone. It was the first house incinerated by a lava flow from Kilauea volcano on the Big Island that scientists have been warning the public about since August. And it likely won’t be the last.
