In an interview with CNN, Green informed that not any deaths were reported in buildings, all died in the open while trying to escape the fire. He speculated that the fatalities could increase.

Hawaii’s Governor directed officials to have a comprehensive review of the state’s actions in the hours after the wildfires erupted earlier this week. He also ordered to review why warning sirens were not used to alert people on Maui.
