Questions are being raised about how residents were alerted to the fire. Some residents say they only realized their lives were at stake when they saw flames approaching.
Hawaii officials reported Friday that 67 people died when a massive wildfire tore through a significant portion of the Hawaiian resort town of Lahaina. Firefighters said that the Lahaina fire was mostly contained on Thursday as the gusty winds that affected Maui throughout the week calmed.
"Anyone who's lost a loved one, home damaged or destroyed is going to get help immediately," President Biden said. Bobby Lee, the president of the Hawaii Firefighters Association, told The Associated Press that Maui's firefighting capability may also have been limited. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the town of Lahaina has a population of 12,702 residents. Officials said that 11,000 people were flown out of the area on Wednesday.
