HONOLULU (AP) — The Maui Fire Department is expected to release a report Tuesday detailing how the agency responded to a series of wildfires that burned
The Maui Fire Department is expected to release a report today detailing how the agency responded to a series of wildfires that burned on the island during a windstorm last August — including one that killed 101 people in the historic town of Lahaina and became the deadliest U.S.
Despite devoting nearly all its resources, the Maui Fire Department was no match for an unprecedented series of blazes, according to a newly released report.
Maui Fire Department workers “risked their lives in a valiant effort to stop the spread of the fires and save lives,” according to the report, made public Tuesday by the Western Fire Chiefs Association.
HONOLULU --When wildfires broke out across Maui last August, some firefighters carried victims piggyback over downed power lines to safety and sheltered survivors inside their engines. Another drove a moped into a burning neighborhood again and again, whisking people away from danger one at a time.

The Maui Fire Department released a report detailing the challenges it faced while battling the wildfires that broke out across the island in August 2023.
By Sara Smart and Emma Tucker, CNN (CNN) — The first phase of findings from a comprehensive investigation into the August 2023 wildfires in Maui, the deadliest in the US in more than a century, will be released on Wednesday by Hawaii’s attorney general.
Officials are still trying to determine exactly what went wrong when the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century burned through a historic Hawaii town, more than a half-year after the disaster. But two key reports released this week are filling in some of the blanks.
Hawaii's attorney general released the first phase of the investigations into the devastating wildfires on Maui. The fires killed more than 100 people and left thousands homeless.
In 2023, a Maui fire killed 101 people despite heroic actions from firefighters, one of the deadliest wildfires in the United States to date. A new report looks at what could have been different and honors the efforts of those who responded.
Hawaii's attorney general released part one of its three-part investigation into the 2023 Hawaiian wildfires a day after the Maui Fire Department released its after-action report.
