That's the Hamakua coast road or the Hilo - Waimea road. Also known as Mamalahoa Highway. I suppose it has a number as well, although many folks don't know the number.

There is no alternate route through that area, either. The County didn't keep up the sugar company roads when they got them from the sugar companies in lieu of taxes so in many places along the coast, there isn't any other way through other than the belt highway.

Hmm, the article said 27 firefighters from the Laupahoehoe station were there. That's mostly a volunteer station, I didn't know we HAD that many fire fighters there!
