Maui wildfires: Photographs show the devastation of the deadly Lahaina blaze
In picturesAt least 96 people have died following the wildfires, as rescuers continue their search six days after the blaze broke out. The provisional death toll is the deadliest in the US in a century.
At least 96 people have died in the wildfires that have ravaged Maui, an island in the Hawaiian archipelago, according to a new death toll announced by the authorities on Sunday, August 13. "We're are prepared for many tragic stories," Governor Josh Green told CBS Mornings. He said that search teams "will find 10 to 20 people per day, probably, until they finish...(it's) probably going to take 10 days."
On Tuesday, August 8, the fire destroyed almost every building in the centuries-old town of Lahaina. The fire was just 85% contained in the neighborhood, and 60% contained inland.
By Saturday, rescue teams had covered only 3% of the search area. Twenty dogs and dozens of people made their way through the burned-out neighborhoods, searching for the dead in charred cars and homes. It's already been declared the deadliest wildfire in the US in over a century.worshippers
