"Maui Wildfires: AG Report Reveals Factors and Timeline of Deadly Blaze"

Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez released findings from an investigation into the deadly Maui wildfires, which killed at least 101 people and caused extensive destruction. The report details the timeline of events and factors contributing to the fires, but does not address their cause. Local agencies and companies have faced scrutiny for their response to the wildfires, with Hawaiian Electric defending itself against allegations of fault. Lawsuits have been filed against the company, Maui County, and the state of Hawaii, alleging negligence and wrongful conduct. The Maui Fire Department's after-action report did not mention the cause of the wildfires, as it is still under investigation. Recommendations for future fire response efforts, including the need for more firefighting equipment and an evacuation plan, have been made.
