Rep. Jill Tokuda, whose district includes Maui, tells “Face the Nation” that the state’s warning sirens “likely did not go off” and there was no cell service in Lahaina as wildfires closed in on the historic town.

Firefighters worked to extinguish flare-ups — when the intensity or spread of a wildfire speeds up rapidly — on Saturday, officials said.

One of the deadliest wildfires in the United States in recent years leveled homes and businesses on the lush Hawaiian island of Maui this past Tuesday. Correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti reports on how residents and tourists were caught off-guard by the fast-moving flames, turning postcard-perfect Lahaina into ruins, as officials warn the number of dead could rise significantly in the weeks to come.

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said Saturday that operations would focus on “the loss of life.”

The fire is the deadliest in the U.S. since the 2018 Camp Fire in California, which killed at least 85 people.

The wildfires which ripped across Maui this week have left dozens of people dead and destroyed hundreds of homes. They have also threatened the livelihoods of many of the island’s residents, as tourism accounts for nearly 80% of Maui’s economy. Carter Evans has details.
