Tragic Loss: EMT's Heroic Sacrifice in Maui Fire

Laurie Allen, who escaped the Lahaina wildfire in Hawaii by running through a burning field, has died after spending over seven weeks in a hospital burn unit. The fire, which killed at least 98 people and destroyed 2,200 buildings, was the deadliest in the US in over a century. Allen's husband, Perry Allen, lost his home and lifetime of work in the fire. Despite enduring infections and multiple operations, Laurie Allen's condition worsened, and she was taken off life support. Residents are now returning to the devastated town, but authorities have urged caution due to potential toxins in the ashes.
