Upcountry wildfire survivors discussed the loss of their homes and the unwavering support of community volunteers who came to their aid in the days following disastrous wildfires on Maui.
“It only takes a spark to start a fire. Sometimes you just need that one little spark to get a response going, and the community has been the fuel for that,” said volunteer, Kyle Ellison.
About 99% of the area devastated by the Aug. 8 wildfires has been searched for human remains with only the waters and coastline left to be looked through.
