The Maui Wildfires Take Lives!

Deadly fires in Hawai'i.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Josh Green, Sen. Maize Hirono (D-HI), Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), Rep. Ed Case (D-HI) and Rep. Jill Tokuda (D-HI) were notified of the latest tragedy on Maui, one of the densely populated islands of the Hawai'ian chain.

There are major wildfires in Hawai'i.

Climate change is real.

Thirty-six people have died in the Maui County wildfires, officials said Thursday, as blazes continue to rage on the Hawai'ian island.

In comparison to California’s history of destructive and deadly blazes, it would rank as #2 on their list of Top 20 deadliest fires. 

The 2018 Camp Fire killed 85, the 1993 Griffith Park blaze killed 29, and the Tunnel Fire of 1991 left 25 dead, according to Cal Fire records.

The fires on Maui also outpace the death toll of recent wildfires including the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Northern California that killed 22, the 2020 North Complex Fire that killed 16 and the LNU Complex Fire, also in 2020, that left six dead.
