The final victim of the Hawaii wildfires has been identified as 70-year-old Lahaina resident Lydia Coloma.
The last victim of the Maui wildfires has been identified, officials said Saturday, bringing the death toll on the Hawaiian island to 100. The victim was identified as Lydia Coloma, 70, of Lahaina, according to the Maui Police Department. Lahaina was nearly destroyed by the fast-moving August fires, with one resident calling it 'unrecognizable.' Thousands of structures, most of them homes, burned.
Maui Emergency Management Agency Administrator Herman Andaya said in a news conference that he thought the sirens would have caused more chaos and caused people to go to parts of the island that were even more at risk. Andaya said he did not regret his decision, but has since resigned from his position. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green called Andaya's response 'utterly unsatisfactory to the world.
