Teacher's Heroic Act: Saving Former Student from Maui Wildfires

A former student in Maui was saved from the wildfires by his favorite teacher, Jackie Ellis, in a chance encounter. Joa Navarro, who had been working at a sailboat charter company, found himself stranded due to closed petrol pumps and low fuel. As he awoke to a spreading blaze, he saw Ms. Ellis driving past and instinctively followed her. They managed to escape the fire together, and Ms. Ellis provided temporary shelter for Navarro while her own home remains uninhabitable. Both are grateful for their unexpected reunion and the role they played in each other's lives.
