"It’s been a few months since I’ve reported on the aftermath of the Aug. 8, 2023, fires in Maui," writes Opinion Editor Don Miller. "So time for an update, since many Santa Cruz County residents have expressed an affinity for the island and/or identify with the struggles residents there continue to go through."
Hawaii s electric utility did not immediately respond to the first alerts of its power lines breaking before the deadly Maui fire last August, according to a new timeline report by the Hawaii attorney general s office, which noted lapses by multiple agencies in responding to what would become the deadliest fire in U.S. history.
Hawaiian Electric did not send a representative to check on fallen power equipment until hours after fire officials alerted the utility, the report says.
