About 25 miles from devastated Lahaina, another wildfire is burning on Maui Residents on Maui are mourning the deaths in Lahaina. But while the world has focused on the devastation in Lahaina, there is another wildfire still burning in the hills of Maui, some 25 miles away. NPR's Eric Westervelt reports from Kula, and he tells us that that fire has destroyed scores of homes there and left residents struggling with loss. WESTERVELT: And ahead of possible storms next week, officials say they're considering cutting off power as a precautionary measure - something they did not do in Lahaina or here in Kula last week.
