Lahaina Fire Sparks Siren Reminder and Water Fights Shift

Prior to the devastating wildfire in Lahaina, Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency had discussed the use of sirens with Maui's Emergency Management Agency for fire evacuations. However, the sirens were not activated during the blaze, and the decision was defended by Maui's emergency management office, stating that it could have caused confusion. The director of the office has since resigned, and questions have been raised about the absence of the head of Maui County Emergency Management during the disaster. The death toll from the wildfire stands at 114, making it the deadliest U.S. wildfire in over a century.
