Lava flow from the Kilauea volcano is now just 100 yards (meters) from the nearest residential property, authorities said on Monday.
Residents in the path of the lava have been placed on alert for possible evacuation, and smoke advisories have been issued for downwind areas, the County of Hawaii said in a civil defense alert.
The lava, which is advancing about 10 to 15 yards an hour, has moved about 275 yards since Sunday morning.
Kilauea has been erupting continuously since 1983.
