It’s always funny when you let the lawyers **** up your electrical company by bankrupting them. LOL! Go Hawaii!!!! Cowabunga!
The initial morning fire before the devastation started at 6:30 a.m., and “appears to have been caused by HECO power lines that fell in high winds.”
Videos taken by local residents, show that HECO power lines had fallen to the ground in high winds near the intersection of Lahainaluna Road and Hoʻokahua Street at approximately 6:30 a.m.
According to HECO’s account. “A small fire that can be seen by the downed power lines spread into the field across the street from the Intermediate School,” the company reports.
The New York Post reported: Maui’s outdated bare electrical wires and leaning poles, which had previously been brought to the company’s attention, caused wildfires to spread rapidly
Proof was illustrated by the fire spreading in straight lines ala the fallen lines.
Their electric is owned by Blackrock. So sad for Blackrock.
