Hawaii’s Attorney General has initiated an investigation into the handling of the wildfires that killed at least 80 people in the state this week, as criticism mounts over the official response. The death toll increased as residents of Lahaina were allowed to return, finding their homes reduced to ashes. Some residents expressed frustration over a lack of official information and support. The Attorney General’s office will examine decision-making and policies leading up to, during, and after the wildfires. Despite the devastation, some residents were elated to reunite with neighbors while others faced the shock of losing everything.
