DALLAS — The American Red Cross has activated a level-3 disaster relief operation on the island of Maui as deadly fires devastate the area.
Here is the latest on the dire situation in Maui from the Associated Press:
Thousands of Hawaii residents raced to escape homes on Maui as blazes swept across the island, destroying parts of a centuries-old town and killing at least 36 people in one of the deadliest U.S. wildfires in recent years.
The fire took the island by surprise, leaving behind burned-out cars on once busy streets and smoking piles of rubble where historic buildings had stood in Lahaina.
The town dates to the 1700s and has long been a favorite destination of tourists.
