The latest on the devastating fires in Hawaii

Periodically, devastating flames have rushed across Hawaii's picturesque landscapes, leaving a trail of devastation and having an effect on both the environment and communities. These fires frequently result from a complex interaction of elements, which may also occasionally include volcanic activity, invasive plant species, dry weather, and human activity.

Hawaii's beautiful lush greenery increases the risk of fire since some plant species can act as fuel for fires. Strong winds and dry weather conditions can cause these fires to grow quickly, making it difficult for firefighters to contain them.

Local governments and federal agencies put up a lot of effort to put out these flames. In order to stop the spread of the fire, firefighters build containment lines and use aerial support to drop water or fire-retardant chemicals & evacuations.
