At least 36 dead as Hawaii fires devastate
island of Maui - BBC News
At least 36 people have died on the Hawaii island of
Maui, as devastating fires swept across the land.
People were reportedly forced to flee the flames by
jumping into the ocean, with the US Coast Guard
rescuing at least a dozen people from the waters.
Authorities say it's too early to know the extent of the
damage, but at least 270 buildings have been
destroyed.
Efforts to bring the fires under control continue, but
flames, fanned by hurricane winds, have reduced large
parts of the historic town of Lahaina to rubble.
