The roads in Lahaina were closed, so Maui resident Emerson Timmins had to get on a bicycle to get to his family. He soon realized what he was witnessing was unlike anything he had ever seen.
I sort of had a mission impossible, you're not really supposed to go through the town, the roadblocks, and I'm like, I just got to get to my family so I went along the ocean and went through Lahaina town and then I realized the importance of documenting everything at that point.
The cars that had gotten backed up on the road there. The reason that they were there is that they were trying to get out. They were trying to escape that fire but all the cars got trapped and all the people were stuck in those cars and they had to run for their lives and not everyone could make it. I did drive by there and the leaves are burnt but the tree looks actually pretty good personally. I think the tree is going to make it.
