TL;DR Summary

Wildfires fueled by strong winds have burned structures, caused evacuations, and power outages in Hawaii. The fires, concentrated in West Maui and an inland region, have been difficult to contain due to downed trees and power lines blocking access.

Thousands of customers are without power, and homes have been destroyed. The fires pose a significant environmental threat to the islands.
