Hawaii’s governor has warned that the death toll from last week’s wildfires could double or triple over the next 10 days. At least 96 people have died in the deadliest US wildfire in a century on the island of Maui. Governor Josh Green anticipates more fatalities as responders search through burned homes and vehicles. The Maui coastal town of Lahaina was severely damaged, and the intensity of the fire has made identifying human remains difficult. A lawsuit has been filed against Hawaiian Electric, alleging that the power firm failed to shut off power lines during high fire danger conditions.
Hawaii’s fire death toll might more than double or triple, according to the governor
