According to lawyers delving into the causes of the devastating Maui wildfires that resulted in the tragic loss of 96 lives, the inferno is believed to have originated from damaged equipment owned by Hawaiian Electric. Mikal Watts, a representative of the Watts Guerra firm, which is one of the three entities investigating the incident, stated that a compilation of evidence, including videos, eyewitness accounts, fire progression data, and the presence of utility equipment, strongly indicates that the ignition source of the Lahaina-devastating fire was Hawaiian Electric’s faulty equipment.
Collaboratively, the Singleton Schreiber and Frantz Law Group firms concurred with this assessment, confirming that their investigations have led them to the same conclusion: that the blaze that engulfed the resort city of Lahaina last week can be traced back to the compromised infrastructure of Hawaiian Electric.
In response, Hawaiian Electric, responsible for serving 95% of the state’s residents, released a statement explaining that they are yet to ascertain the precise cause of the wildfires. The extensive damage and ongoing restricted access to the affected area due to what has been described as the deadliest wildfire in the US in over a century have hindered their investigative efforts.
Despite the mounting speculation, official statements regarding the fire’s cause are still pending. Governor Josh Green emphasized the complexity of the investigations, predicting that determining the cause of the fires might take weeks or even months. As Hawaii grapples with what he labeled as its most significant natural disaster in history, the search for answers continues.
The Lehaina/Maui fire’s toll surpassed even that of the 2018 Camp Fire, which resulted in 85 fatalities. In the chronicles of Hawaii, it now holds the grim distinction of being the deadliest natural catastrophe ever recorded. Its impact rivals even the infamous 1918 Cloquet Fire in northern Minnesota, an event that claimed the lives of over 450 individuals.
The ferocious inferno that swept through Lahaina left behind a wake of devastation, causing extensive damage to or complete destruction of over 2,200 structures. The process of reconstruction is expected to carry a substantial price tag, with estimates exceeding $5.5 billion as per a report released by FEMA on a recent Saturday.
