The power company plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in the next few years on wildfire prevention. Some lawmakers question why that didn’t happen before Lahaina.

Maui Judge Peter Cahill’s ruling will provide a rare glimpse into insurance business.

A proposed settlement could become final by early 2025.

The most recent report on the cause of the Lahaina wildfire added credence to the theory that Hawaiian Electric Co., Kamehameha Schools and others are responsible for the destruction and loss of life.

Firefighters stayed at the blaze for more than five hours – and couldn’t have predicted the deadly rekindling that afternoon, Fire Chief Brad Ventura said.

A decision about whether insurers can pursue their own lawsuits could come by year’s end.

Wildfire victims want the high court to step in over objections from the insurance industry.

Hawaiian Electric Industries said there is risk it cannot continue as a going concern if it can’t find financing to cover wildfire liabilities.

Maui County could get off with just the $10 million contribution it has already pledged to the state fund for fire victims.

The proposed settlement still needs to be approved by a judge. And insurers that have paid out billions in claims have not agreed to terms.
