Hawaii Wildfires: Governor Vows Rebuilding as Death Toll Rises and Many Remain Unaccounted

Hawaii Governor Josh Green revealed that over 1,000 people are still unaccounted for following the devastating wildfires in Maui County. Search and rescue operations have covered 85% of the impacted area, but the remaining 15% may take weeks to search due to the need to peel back structures. Green expressed concerns that some remains may be impossible to recover meaningfully due to the intensity of the fire. He defended the decision not to sound emergency sirens, stating that they are typically used for tsunamis and hurricanes, and using them for wildfires could have caused more harm.
