While at least 80 people died in Lahaina, health officials say hospitals have not been overwhelmed by injuries.

The state plans to use federal funding to rent space in hotels, accessory dwelling units and spare bedrooms.

Local leaders say they were caught by surprise because the scale of Tuesday’s fire was unprecedented. But the warning has been sounded for years.

Officials estimated that some 1,000 were unaccounted for, 1,700 buildings burned and 2,000 people were in shelters as the Lahaina wildfire continued to burn.

Gov. Josh Green says he is considering calling a special legislative session to help get money out to the Maui community.

The Maui landmark has reinvented itself many times since it was the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom in the 16th century.

A major disaster declaration would unlock additional federal resources.

Power outages left Maui visitors with little information on where they would be headed once they left the island.

Unlike a hurricane, the fires ignited and spread quickly, forcing sudden evacuations.

UPDATES: The death toll from the fires rose to 36 late Wednesday, the county said.
