The Hawaii Emergency Services Administration (HI-EMA) admitted \u2062that the sirens, which are \u2062tested monthly, failed to alert \u2064Hawaiians \u2063to the danger that was heading their way. \u200cThe consequences \u2063were dire, with the fire claiming the lives of 80\u2063 people \u200band leaving officials fearing that the death\u2063 toll could rise even higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to The New York Post, the wildfire reached Lahaina earlier\u2062 this week, catching residents off\u2064 guard. Lynn Robinson,\u2062 a resident\u200d who tragically lost her\u2063 home in the blaze, expressed her shock at the lack of warning: &#8220;There was no warning. There was\u2064 absolutely none. \u200bNobody came around. We didn&#8217;t see a fire\u2064 truck or\u2064 anybody.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While HI-EMA did send out alerts via text,\u200c radio,\u200d and TV, many residents either didn&#8217;t receive \u200cor notice the alerts. It was also unclear why the emergency sirens didn&#8217;t\u2063 initially go off. Governor Josh Green \u2063(D-HI) explained that \u200cmuch of the equipment was rapidly destroyed by the fire, \u2062leaving authorities scrambling to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aoc-compares-cruz-hawley-to-her-sexual-assault-tactics-of-abusers-who-want-to-do-it-again\/\" title=\"AOC Compares Cruz, Hawley To Her \u2018Sexual Assault\u2019: \u2018Tactics Of Abusers\u2019 Who Want To \u2018Do It Again\u2019\">find alternative means<\/a> of communication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As of Saturday, half \u2064a dozen fires continue to burn on Maui, but the Lahaina fire, which was the most deadly and destructive,\u2063 is now 85% contained, as reported\u200b by NBC News. The fire forced\u2064 residents to \u200cjump into the Pacific Ocean\u2063 to save themselves, and the U.S. Coast Guard had to rescue at least 14 people using a 45-foot boat. The inferno\u200c left\u200b over 2,000 buildings destroyed or \u2063damaged, and\u200b the estimated cost \u200dof rebuilding for \u200dMaui County could reach a \u200dstaggering \u200d$5.52 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WATCH?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WATCH<\/a>: New video shows the moment a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/historic-hawaiian-town-of-lahaina-wiped-out-by-fire-270-structures-damaged-36-dead\/\" title=\"Lahaina, a historic Hawaiian town, devastated by fire: 270+ structures damaged, 36+ lives lost.\">wildfire tore<\/a> through homes in Lahaina.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hGkr7eRdpv\">https:\/\/t.co\/hGkr7eRdpv<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HINews?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HINews<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HNN?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HNN<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U7ZdftV7S3\">pic.twitter.com\/U7ZdftV7S3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hawaii News Now (@HawaiiNewsNow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HawaiiNewsNow\/status\/1689533877889429504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August \u206310, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In response to this tragic oversight, Hawaii Attorney General \u2063Anne \u200dLopez announced that her office will conduct a comprehensive review \u200cof \u2064the decisions made \u2063by officials before, during, and after the \u200dwildfires.
