Hawaii Attorney General Subpoenas Maui Agencies in Wildfire Investigation

Three Maui County agencies have been subpoenaed by the Hawaii Attorney General's office for failing to provide critical information needed for the investigation into the August 8 Maui wildfires. The subpoenas were issued to the Maui Emergency Management Agency, the Maui Department of Public Works, and the Maui Department of Water Supply. While some Maui agencies have cooperated, others have not, causing delays in the investigation. The first phase of the probe, focused on fact-finding, will likely take longer than expected. The investigation aims to uncover the facts, develop new policies, and ensure a safer Hawaii.
