These homes, some distance from the destroyed coastal town of lahaina, are in the centre of the island where, last week, just before the fires, the cameras at this Bird Sanctuary captured a bright flash. Staff believe it is a tree falling on a powerline. Shortly afterwards, flames can be seen in the forest. Ross hart saw something similar before his home burned down. We could hear some trees falling here and there in the distance. One big one fell here on the bridge and it knocked over the powerlines. And then you saw the house. You could see it burn . I saw it begin to burn and they wouldnt let me stay to watch it. They were dragging me out because the embers were starting to come over my truck and stuff. Questions are now being asked about whether lives might have been saved. Should mauis power grid have been turned off . Could more have been done to Sound The Alarm . For many of tho
