All to escape the flames racing down the hill, some of those flames traveling a mile a minute. Tonight, for the first time, we take that journey back with those captains, traveling along mauis western edge. Just a haunting scene here all along front street, where so many families, and the people of lahaina, came down the hill to try to escape the flames and the heat. So many jumping in the water here just to survive. As the two captains got closer to the harbor after nightfall, they could feel the heat, the blinding smoke. Weve all seen the images of the people who jumped in the water to just to survive this and who were huddled along front street here. We were expecting the worst on the way in, so we had we had big spotlights up, flashlights searching. It was there was so much smoke in the air, your Flashlight Beam would only go about 100 feet or so. David as we look at it here, you can see that people had no place to go, other than the water or the one road out of town. Yeah. David i mean, they were trapped. Sorry. David it is still too raw. Captain riley coons is a Third Generation hawaiian, and captain travis dewater. They were both there that night. It looked like a zombie apocalypse, everything was on fire. Everybody was just covered in soot. David their faces were covered in soot from the fire . Yeah. I mean, everything. David everything. Everybody was kind of covered in soot. David so many people who were actually even in the water were holding a tshirt up to their face just to breathe through it . The best i could tell, there was a girl that was 9 and a boy that was, like, 11 or 12 they were pretty scared. We showed up out of the dark and took them paddling out through the waves. I think it was the young boy, the older one was encouraging his sister to be strong, and it was pretty touching. David when you look at these charred buildings and the melted cars all along front street, i mean, its as though these families just they got trapped. When you think about the people still unaccounted for here its just one of the heaviest thoughts to think about i know that theres i got three young kids, and i just imagine what im just so thankful i wasnt in here. I heard stories that people would just see families huddled together, and they said, it looks like its pompeii. Theyre just calcified, frozen in time. Then when i heard that, because schools werent in that day, it was so windy that a lot of these were children at home its just too much. Sorry. Sorry. David the images of that night. The families, parents and their children in their cars. They wont forget. Tonight, how did this happen . It was more than a week ago, monday evening, august 7th, 10 47 p. M. A Surveillance Camera capturing this moment. A flash. Video of what could have been an early trigger in these deadly fires. A power line arcing. Witness jennifer pribble.

David the data compiled by whisker labs, a private Company Monitoring the grid through a network of sensors here, documenting dozens of major electrical incidents around lahaina.

David you can see jennifer and a Coworker Running with a garden hose and a fire extinguisher, trying to put out the flames. It was just minutes earlier, 6 37 a. M. , shane treu woken up by the howling winds. Power line just went down. David in that moment, using a hose to try to protect his home from the fires that he says appears to have been caused by a downed power line. Thats the power line that started it. Started from up the road there. All of that is still burning. We had all this wind blowing and you have a fire, just that was fuel and in a matter of minutes, that whole place was engulfed. David tonight, demand for accountability, and serious questions about whether alerts were sent when they should have been. And whether sirens should have been sounded. Around midnight that night, those two captains, riley and travis, arrive in that harbor. Only to find the raging fires and the blinding smoke. A week later, theyre aware they were not the only ones who raced in to help. A lot of people here did a lot of heroic work, huh . The community has been amazing on the response side. I mean, there was other boats out here that night. Were not the only ones. That was one of the most Amazing Things out of this, to watch how fast the Community Came together and rose up, and it was instant, and it was everybody. David i think the whole country is thinking about the people of lahaina and maui and got to do something to honor all these families here. I hope so.
