On this New Year’s morning about 1 a.m., a fire broke out on Liholiho Street in Wailuku.
The picture in The Maui News shows the burnt remains of a family’s home. One can only suspect that the cause of the fire was from illegal fireworks (aerials) that were seen all over Maui.
This picture cannot come close to conveying the horror, panic and fear that the family (including children) in the house at that time went through.
Screaming and yelling could be heard throughout the neighborhood as the surrounding residents fled their homes, moved cars and poured into the street.
