Deadly wildfires decimate Maui County
Three destructive wildfires continue to rip through Maui and the Big Island Thursday as crews work to battle the devastation. At least 36 people have died and more than 11,000 residents have evacuated so far, officials said Thursday, warning that the death toll could climb.
For centuries, Lahaina has been a significant economic, political and cultural center for Native Hawaiian communities.
The before and after pictures showed widespread damage across the historic community.
The people were fleeing a wildfire that caused extensive damage to Lahaina, in western Maui. The fires on Maui were fueled in part by winds from the passing Hurricane Dora, officials say.
