Maui wildfire death toll rises as search for missing continues |
The death toll from last week's wildfire that destroyed the historic seaside town of Lahaina, Hawaii, rose by three to 96 late Sunday. The fire in western Maui is already the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century, and search crews with cadaver-sniffing dogs are still combing through the ruins as an unspecified number of people remain missing. Gov. Josh Green said over the weekend that the number of fatalities would "continue to rise. We want to brace people for that." Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Pacific Disaster Center maps showed that about 2,200 structures, 86% of which were homes, were damaged or destroyed in Lahaina, with total losses near $6 billion. |
