The death toll from wildfires on Hawaii’s Maui has risen to 80 as search teams combed through the smouldering ruins of Lahaina town, and officials sought to determine how the inferno spread so rapidly through the historic resort area with little warning.
Hawaii’s attorney general said on Friday that she was opening a probe into how authorities responded to devastating wildfires that have left at least 80 people dead and 1,418 people at emergency evacuation shelters, according to the latest figures.
