A couple of days ago I read a post on Twitter/X/whatever from a resident that said earlier in the day they fought a fire on the island. It was supposedly 100% contained and the firefighters left. Then the winds went to 70 mph sustained. Guess what happened? The rest is history. It was sheer incompetence.

Bitt posted upthread about the water running out fighting the fires. I did hear a few residents claim the same thing watching some of the videos. One person was dousing his house with water but then it quit & he had to bug out. I guess it depends what the system is powered by or gravity.
The person, who is providing free Starlink internet there, streamed some Maui updates a couple of hours ago:
