A Cedars Sinai-trained doctor is doing what he can with his mobile intensive care unit to help the survivors of Maui’s destructive fires.
“I knew I needed to go activate MODO for the people on that Wednesday,” he said of the frantic calls he got last week. “I filled up the van and just went out. I brought more trauma stuff, airway stuff, respiratory meds. I had no idea what I was walking into.”
Since the beginning of the fire’s destruction, the doctor has cared for victims and provided IV drips for search and rescue teams that have been working tirelessly. With the situation in Maui dire, Danesh recalls the grim sights he’s seen while working. “I felt caught off guard,” he said. “Because people coming out, survivors, the people who swam into the ocean, all those videos you’ve seen -- it’s like a horror movie.”
As of Wednesday, the devastating fires claimed the lives of 106 people. A mobile morgue unit with additional coroners arrived on the island this week to help sort through remains. A Fresno family reunited with the man who held onto their son for hours in the ocean while fleeing Maui’s wildfires. Kathy Vara reports for the NBC4 News on Aug. 16, 2023.
