Hawaii

Maui authorities will escort some people back into the areas devastated by the Lahaina fire, which killed at least 97 people and demolished thousands of buildings.

The historic banyan tree, which was scorched during the wildfires in Lahaina in August, began to sprout new leaves this month.

One month after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century leveled the historic town of Lahaina, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green says the number of missing has dropped to 66, the death toll remains at 115, and authorities will soon escort residents on visits to their property.

Lawyers claim cables were attached in a way that put too much tension on utility poles, causing them to lean and break when flames burned down much of Lahaina.

At least 115 people died in the blaze that swept through Lahaina, the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. in more than a century.

The People’s Fund of Maui will give $1,200 a month to adults who are not able to return to their primary residences because of the recent wildfires.

Authorities reported that the death count stands at 115, but an unknown number of people are still missing.

Hawaiian Electric is facing a spate of new lawsuits that seek to hold it responsible for the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century. The number of confirmed dead stands at 115, and the county expects that to rise.

Within a day of Maui County releasing 388 names of people unaccounted for following the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century, more than 100 of them or their relatives have come forward to say they’re safe.

The lawsuit says the utility company didn't turn off the power given the conditions in the area and that they didn't properly maintain and repair utility poles and other equipment.

Authorities in Hawaii are pleading with relatives of those missing after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century to come forward and give DNA samples.

Maui authorities say anywhere between 500 and 1,000 people remain unaccounted for two weeks after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century destroyed the community of Lahaina.

Among the charred homes in a neighborhood reduced to ash from the Maui fires stands a single red-roofed home that appears virtually unscathed.

President Joe Biden told survivors of Hawaii’s wildfires that the nation “grieves with you” and promised that the federal government will help Hawaii “for as long as it takes” to recover from the deadliest wildfire in the United States in more than a century.
