Officials on the island of Maui in Hawaii say the death toll from wildfires on the island has increased to 67 people as the Lahaina fire continues to burn.
The death toll was increased by 12 people on Friday from the previous 55 accounted for Thursday, and officials in Maui say the fire has not been contained. Despite the firefight, access to west Maui was reopened on a limited basis to residents from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time."West Maui remains without power and water, and search crews continue efforts in the Lahaina town area for victims of the brush fire.
State Attorney General Anne Lopez announced on Friday that her office would be conducting a"comprehensive review" of decision-making and policies"leading up to, during, and after the wildfires" in the state this week. “My Department is committed to understanding the decisions that were made before and during the wildfires and to sharing with the public the results of this review. As we continue to support all aspects of the ongoing relief effort, now is the time to begin this process of understanding,” Lopez added.
