Hawaii fires death toll on Maui island rises – BBC News


The number of people killed in the Hawaii wildfires has risen to 53, and police said as many as 1,000 may be missing on the island of Maui.

Governor Josh Green says the fires are the "largest natural disaster in Hawaii state history" and 80% of historic seaside town Lahaina is "gone".

In Lahaina, tourists were forced to jump into the sea and tread water for hours.

Firefighters are still battling to contain Maui’s wildfires, which began on Tuesday and were fuelled by Hurricane Dora’s passing winds.
