Winds From Tropical Storm Lane Fueled Destructive Wildfire On Maui

The West Maui wildfires left behind a trail of destruction larger than initially thought. On Saturday afternoon, Maui fire officials said the number of structures damaged in the fast-moving Lahaina wildfire grew to 22. Some 30 vehicles were also burned along with a base yard that housed heavy equipment. Neighbors in the valley, where as many as 13 homes were burned, say nearly 60 people are now displaced because of the fires. The flames blackened some 2,000 acres fueled by dry brush and strong winds from Tropical Storm Lane. On Sunday, fire officials finally secured the fire, deeming it 100 percent contained. The blaze, which started early Friday, forced authorities to evacuate more than 100 homes.
