Class-action lawsuits blame Hawaiian Electric for keeping the power on amid high wind warnings as dozens of people reported downed power-lines.
An early morning video from a Lahaina resident may have captured the start of what would become the deadliest wildfire the U.S. has seen in a century.
Lahaina resident Shane Treu may have captured key evidence with his cell phone camera the morning of the fire, saying he saw howling winds snap a wooden pole and spark the dry grass below. The class-action suits blame Hawaiian Electric for keeping the power on amid high wind warnings as dozens of people reported downed power-lines. While high winds and dry conditions have been blamed for the inferno, there’s mounting evidence that Hawaii’s utility equipment holds at least some responsibility not only for the Lahaina fire, but others that sparked elsewhere in Maui around the same time.
