Maui wildfire missing revised down to 66

Hawaii Governor Josh Green says a total of 66 people remain officially unaccounted for, a month after the devastating Maui wildfires.

The wildfires swept through Lahaina in Maui, reducing much of the historic town to ashes.

Green said search and rescue teams have completed their work within the town and the death toll remains at 115.

It was the deadliest US wildfire in over a century.

The FBI reported 66 people ‘still unaccounted for based on calls and emails’ Green said.

“This is the number that initially was over 3,000 and then dropped to 385 last week.”

Green added that 7,500 displaced survivors were relocated to dozens of hotels and hundreds of vacation rentals according to the Governor.

The state’s Attorney General Anne Lopez is in the middle of a wide ranging investigation into the Maui wildfires and the emergency response.
