Lahaina Fire - Maui, Hawaii

(Updated 10/11/2025) The Lahaina fire in Maui, Hawaii in August 2023 was a deadly wildfire that destroyed more than 2,000 buildings and killed at least 102 people. It was the deadliest wildfire in the United States in over a century. 
 
The path to full recovery remains long. Two years after the fire, many residents are still grappling with displacement and the loss of their homes. While significant strides have been made in Lahaina's recovery, the community continues to face numerous challenges as it rebuilds and addresses deeper systemic issues.
