An emergency proclamation was issued for Hawaii's Maui and Hawaii counties on Tuesday as wildfires fueled by Hurricane Dora's strong winds prompted at least one evacuation order.

Hawaii's Acting Gov. Sylvia Luke issued the proclamation. The eye of the hurricane was "churning far south of the islands," she said in a statement.

"We are closely following the wildfires caused by the strong winds of Hurricane Dora," Luke said. "The safety of our residents is paramount, and this emergency proclamation will activate the Hawaii National Guard to support emergency responders in the impacted communities."

Evacuations were in place Tuesday near two fires burning near Maui -- the Lahaina and Upcountry Maui fires, county officials said.

"Multiple structures have burned and multiple evacuations are in place, as firefighter crews continue battling brush and structure fires in Upcountry and Lahaina areas," officials said in a statement, later adding, "In West Maui, fire crews from Napili, Lahaina, Kihei and Wailuku responded to the fast-moving fire, which was fueled by strong winds as Hurricane Dora passed well south of Hawaii."

The governor's proclamation also authorized appropriate actions by the director of the state's Emergency Management Agency and the Administrator of Emergency Management, according to the statement.

The U.S Coast Guard and other agencies were also responding.

"A @USCG 45-foot Response Boat Medium crew from Station Maui has successfully rescued 12 individuals from the waters off Lahaina," the guard's Hawaii Pacific patrol saidon social media.

The guard's Cutter Kimball was headed to Maui to "enhance efforts," the statement said.
