Kristina Lee-Garrido, 54, and a friend stood in a pool for hours as the Maui wildfires raged around them before they were rescued by firefighters.
Lee-Garrido, who’d served as a nurse in the Navy, had been to Hawaii more than 10 times since the 1990s. This year, she and her childhood best friend, Misty Guantonio, decided to take a trip together, in part to celebrate Guantonio’s birthday on Aug. 8.
The next morning, the building the two stayed in had no power or internet as winds from Hurricane Dora swept through Lahaina.Around 5 p.m., Lee-Garrido woke up from a nap to see smoke outside the condo. Through a window, she could see that a cabana at the front of the complex was on fire. Lee-Garrido and Guantonio hastily grabbed their wallets, electronics, towels and wet washcloths to cover their mouths before heading outside. The smoke was so thick they couldn’t see each other, relying on their voices to stay near one another.
