At least 36 people have died and several are missing due to wildfires raging in Maui County, Hawaii.
“As firefighting efforts continue, 36 deaths have been reported to date in the Lahaina fire, which remains active,” the X (formerly Twitter) social networking site said in a statement Wednesday.
The flames led to the declaration of a state of emergency and the evacuation of thousands of people from their homes. Amid the panic, some residents even jumped into the water to protect themselves.
According to Despite everything, In addition to firefighting, a major search and rescue operation is underway.
The fires were caused by strong winds from the past Hurricane Dora, which destroyed hundreds of buildings and burned some areas. Much of the resort town of Lahaina on Maui’s west coast was affected.
