2023 Maui wildfires

The **Maui wildfires** was a wildfire which happened in early August 2023 of Hawaiʻi, primarily on the island of Maui. In the town of Lhain, wind-driven fires forced evacuations, caused significant damage, and killed at least 106 people as governor warns of 'significant' death toll rise. Many animals, such as dogs, have been injured, killed, or are now missing from the wildfires as well. As of August 15, 2023, only some out of the estimated 93 people have been identified so far, with many of the bodies being so damaged that they have ‘fallen apart’.

## Impact

The Maui wildfire has caused most of Lāhainā to be burned, where more than 3,000 structures have been destroyed with an estimated value of $6 billion in damages, 96% of the burned buildings were residential. The Banyan tree in Lāhainā, which is considered to be the largest tree in the United States, had most of its foliage charred. Thankfully, it was still left standing even after the fire.
