Firefighters have dropped roughly 150,000 gallons of water on the wildfires in Maui County as authorities from multiple agencies assist during one of the deadliest disasters in Hawaii's history.
The wildfires are ravaging the islands of Maui, or the"Big Island," and Oahu, forcing residents to flee their homes and towns. Hawaii Department of Defense Adjutant General Ken Hara said in a news conference on Thursday that strong winds hindered rescue efforts and prevented aircraft from getting into a position to drop water on target areas.
"We just had the worst disaster I’ve ever seen. All of Lahaina is burnt to a crisp. It’s like an apocalypse,” resident Mason Jarvi, who escaped the fires, told Al Jazeera. Close to 300 structures in Maui County, at least 270 from Lahaina, have been damaged or destroyed. The Baldwin Home Museum, the oldest house in Maui and a historic landmark in Lahaina, may also have been"fully burned" in the wildfires, according to the Lahaina Restoration Foundation via the Washington Post.
