"Maui Wildfire Investigation: Power Utility Takes Responsibility, Lawyers Race for Clients"

Hawaiian Electric Company has admitted that its power lines caused a wildfire on Maui, but it has blamed county firefighters for leaving the scene prematurely, leading to a second and more devastating blaze. The utility claims that its power lines had been de-energized for over six hours when the second fire started. However, critics argue that if the utility's power lines hadn't caused the initial fire, the subsequent devastation would not have occurred. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and Hawaiian Electric is facing multiple lawsuits seeking to hold it responsible for the tragedy.
