The Navy should have been there too, the rescue efforts were strictly private boats , people fighting the fire with garden hoses . This was a colossal failure on city , county ,state and federal agencies People pay taxes to have these agencies to protect them.

@oakvillehigh its not a federal responsibility, literally against the law for the feds to do a state or local governments job.... the government started those fires to get rid of the people on that land, the Governor wants to take the land now, he will give it to his rich benefactors.

Growing up in Hawaii I was taught that the emergency sirens meant a tsunami was coming. The local government repurposed the use of sirens for a general disaster warning. However they failed to inform & educate the public of this change on how they would be using the sirens. The decision to not activate the sirens & educate the public prior to this disaster is probably the biggest blunder on Hawaii's local government

@debs2461 10 ай бұрын

Herman implying that they people would be so stupid to run towards a wall of fire if they activated the sirens is just kicking the people when they are down. Then the icing on the cake is him admitting he didn't regret not activating the sirens. What an idiot!

@maraliske4544 10 ай бұрын

I understand why the sirens did not sound. We have grown up knowing the sirens mean to run mauka. The power not being turned off, or people evacuated when the high winds were forecasted and brush fires were happening. The water pressure was another failure. I believe in Aloha for all those involved including the leaders who were not prepared nor did anyone ever imagine this possible.

Questions to be answered in the Maui Conflagration: 1. Why were the alarm systems and emergency sirens not activated? 2. Where were the local government officials (the Governor, State officials, Mayors, council members, fire chiefs, police chiefs, emergency services staff) not around to coordinate strategies to control the fires or help residents evacuate to safer grounds? 3. Why were the entrance to and egress from Lahaina apparently closed during the conflagration? 4. If the US military has reportedly around 11 bases in Hawaii, including 2 Coast Guard bases, why were they not asked to assist in putting away the fire and/or assisting in evacuating the people to safer grounds or on board their ships or helicopters? 5. Why were FEMA personnel and police officers reportedly prevented people from safer grounds in Maui bringing in emergency supplies (food, groceries, blankets, clothes, and other basic necessities) for victims of the conflagration the following days? 6. There were reports that a few weeks before this conflagration happened, there were apparently a significant number of property owners that were approached by real estate and/or insurance people offering to buy their properties, which were refused by said property owners. 7. There were also reports that big real estate investors and developers had meetings with State & Local government officials about the possibility of building “Smart Cities” in Maui, and Lahaina in particular. Was the conflagration, which the State Governor quickly blamed on “climate change”, the quickest way to force the hapless homeowners, who inherited their properties from generation to generation, to sell their properties at a BARGAIN? We need answers to these questions that require intensive investigation by both State and Federal Authorities. There could be serious crimes committed here.

This shows how many people are victims when there is a tragedy like this. Yes, you hear about the people who lose their lives and that’s awful and the ultimate loss, but for every life loss there are hundreds more affected by fires, shootings, etc. It is so important for the people affected to get the help they need not only physically, like replacing homes, but mentally. My mother was a survivor of a workplace shooting in the 80s. She survived that day only to be killed slowly the next 15 years until the PTSD from that day finally claimed her. You won’t see her name on a list of victims anywhere, but if that shooting didn’t happen I would still have a mom, of that I’m sure.

When he got to the front of all the cars there was a police man, he told him to let them leave the fire was already at the Safeway. Cop said he couldn’t, he was just following orders, old guy said he started hearing cars explode, cop wouldn’t let them through.

Californian here, people greatly underestimate how fast a wildfire spreads. The decisions that led to this disaster were years, even decades in the making, it's obvious there was no plan. Insane that they didn't turn on the outdoor alarms because they thought people would be too stupid to run away from the fire.

@Joe-ij6of 9 ай бұрын

I think everyone on that island was informed their entire lives that the siren system = tsunami. If siren = tsunami then they head inland for hills/high ground. That would be exactly the wrong thing to do. Many people seemed to have survived by wading in the ocean along the shoreline, which fewer people would've done if they thought a tsunami was coming. Stupidity has nothing to do with it, and if you see smoke then you don't need an alarm to understand there is fire.

Sirens are _primarily_ for tsunamis, but they for other things as well... like fires. I think the average person would have put two and two together and evacuated _away from_ the fire. The idea someone would walk _into_ a fire cuz they misunderstood what the siren was for is absurd.

@eskieman3948 10 ай бұрын

NO - you are DEAD WRONG on the siren use. When the people hear a tsunami siren, do you know what they are instructed to do? Run like hell for the high ground towards the hills. Do you know where the wildfires were coming from? The hills, and going towards the people.

@eskieman3948 I'm sure they would have seen said fire coming down the hill, it was also nighttime and would have been clearly seen! It's the government's fault for not telling the public that they had changed the sirens purpose to indicate an emergency, not just a Tsunami.

“Everyone was covered in soot”…….Absolutely heart wrenching. Anybody here ever heard of “wild” fires occurring in a city? Aren’t they usually in the “wild”……hence the term wildfires? Nothing about this situation seems like a “natural” disaster. I’ve never seen anything like this event in my whole life, and trust me, I’m not young (kills me to admit that out loud.). Apocalyptic.

Yes you are correct. Experts have been warning people for years that climate change is going to cause things like this but people still refuse to accept that it's true. It's happening. Not only in Hawaii. All over. California is experiencing their first hurricane in a long time. This isn't a coincidence.

Yes. The Marshall Fire in Colorado December 30, 2021 was also a grass fire that destroyed 1,084 homes, many businesses including a Tesla Service Center and the hotel, The Element. Our fire was stopped by snow. No sirens used because they said we would run to our basements hearing them. 20% got evacuation notices. Over a thousand pets lost. Only lost two people in the fire. Only 20 percent got evacuation notices, but we never lost the internet. Also many were at work or on vacation.
