President Biden told a room full of Maui wildfire survivors that he could commiserate with their plight because years ago firefighters “ran into flames” at his own home to rescue first lady Jill Biden — retelling a story that for years has drawn unflattering fact-checks.
“And it hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducts, air conditioning ducts.

The fire was under control in 20 minutes.”
