A new report attempts to answer where and how the deadly 2023 fire that destroyed the Hawaii town of Lahaina began. The Maui Fire Department and the U.S.

County of Maui and ATF officials held a press conference after releasing the origin and cause report of the deadly Maui wildfire that happened last year.

A long-awaited report concluded that the deadly 2023 fire that killed at least 102 people and razed much of historic Lahaina was actually caused by a smaller blaze that firefighters believed they had fully extinguished that morning.
