It’s not a threat to the travel and tourism industry in the State of Hawaii, but Hawaii Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira released a statement saying lava near a cemetery that burned down a house earlier this week hasn’t advanced significantly on the Big Island of Hawaii. The lava flow is also stopping at another spot about 300 yards upslope of a rural road.

Lava that was filling the driveway of a Hawaii trash transfer station on the Big Island of Hawaii has stopped.

Hawaii County Civil Defense officials say a breakout of the lava flow near the transfer station wasn’t active Friday. It’s no longer burning asphalt.

Hawaii County considers the flow of lava an immediate threat to area residents.

Kilauea volcano has been erupting continuously for more than 31 years.
