In listening to the video you provide and what she says in that video he did say, he had someone on the site before the fire started. I went to the White House site and read the transcript, but what he said is nothing sinister. They KNEW the Hurricane winds were coming so he made sure someone was on the ground that day.
“Fenton is one of the nation’s most experienced disaster response-and-recovery officials who has been on the ground in Hawaii from August 8, the day the wildfires started. In this role, Fenton will oversee the Federal government’s long-term recovery work on the ground for Maui.”

Back in 2021 Biden invested a lot of money to deal with these situations.
“MAY 24, 2021
FACT SHEET: Biden Administration Invests $1 Billion To Protect Communities, Families, and Businesses Before Disaster Strikes”
“As climate change threatens to bring more extreme events like increased floods, sea level rise, and intensifying droughts and wildfires, it is our responsibility to better prepare and support communities, families, and businesses before disaster – not just after.” “.....The program seeks to categorically shift the federal focus from reactive disaster spending and toward research-supported, proactive investment in community resilience so that when the next hurricane, flood, or wildfire comes, communities are better prepared.”

So I can reason he had someone there on the ground before the winds/fires started because they KNEW (at least the hurricane force wind was coming) to manage the money etc for the communities that are prone to disaster.
They may be doing a Pis-Poor job of it though.
