#Hawaii family flees Lahaina wildfire in terror 💔 #shortsfeed

Deadly wildfires have killed at least 80 people on the Hawaiian island of Maui.

The fires nearly wiped out the historic town of 13,000 people and were still not fully contained Friday night on some parts of the island.

A new wildfire Friday evening triggered the evacuation of Kaanapali, a coastal community a few miles north of Lahaina, but crews were able to extinguish it, authorities said.

Maui County raised the number of confirmed deaths to 80 Friday night, and Gov. Josh Green warned that the toll would likely rise as search and rescue operations continue. Authorities set a curfew from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. Saturday. Cadaver-sniffing dogs were deployed to search for the dead, Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen Jr. said.
