At this point, various major news sources have reported these additional inconvenient facts, all omitted from the county’s lawsuit:

• Firefighters abandoned a still-burning bush fire while hurricane force winds were blowing over it. The wildfire started shortly thereafter.

• An emergency management official failed to sound the sirens that would have warned people of the fire and need to evacuate.

• Another official refused to allow firefighters access to water to put out the fire for five hours, demanding submission of an “environmental impact statement.”

• Police literally blocked off the only exit out of Lahiana was literally and turned cars back toward the flames.

• Officials ordered kids to leave school and go back home where they were left alone.

• Hawaiian officials still refuse to definitively say how many children have been reported missing. ...

It’s still too early to say, but the Maui disaster is shaping up to be as perfectly horrible an example of woke incompetence as you could possibly ask for.

In deadly Maui fires, many had no warning and no way out. Those who dodged a barricade survived

As flames tore through a West Maui neighborhood, car after car of fleeing residents headed for the only paved road out of town in a desperate race for safety.

And car after car was turned back toward the rapidly spreading wildfire by a barricade blocking access to Highway 30.

One family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later, another drove their four-wheel-drive car down a dirt road to escape. One man took a dirt road uphill, climbing above the fire and watching as Lahaina burned. He later picked his way through the flames, smoke and rubble to pull survivors to safety.

But dozens of others found themselves caught in a hellscape, their cars jammed together on a narrow road, surrounded by flames on three sides and the rocky ocean waves on the fourth. Some died in their cars, while others tried to run for safety.

If the roof is made of non-flammable material (metal, ceramic or concrete tile, etc) the building will not catch fire from embers

Care to revise your bullshit dismissal you two..?

Seems this particular resort was sporting some additional protection beyond what you describe. How interesting that it just happened to be scheduled to wrap up right at the beginning of August. Of course the page no longer exists outside the archives...

CONSTRUCTION NOTICE: Lahaina Shores Beach Resort will be having exterior waterproofing construction starting on April 10, 2023, and to be completed by August 04, 2023.

The building could be even wooden, but covering it in stucco makes its walls resistant to embers. If the roof is made of non-flammable material (metal, ceramic or concrete tile, etc) the building will not catch fire from embers, unless they get in through open windows or doors. This is where sprinklers come into play and I'm pretty sure resorts like that have fire supression systems by code. These high-rises are made of steel and concrete though. The boats burned on the water were not stucco, concrete or metal - they were made of wood and/or plastic. Drop some embers on them - and they're done. Dry conditions are irrelevant - if the surface is non-flammable it will not catch fire no matter what. Drop some embers on lush grass which has been watered twice a day and all you get is maybe poxmarks here and there.

Exterior waterproofing. Doh!

It could work as a definite proof that Schwab is planning to drown everybody in Lahaina though.

According to Alex Jones DEW is not the cause of Maui fires. Last guy you'd expect to say that.

Many have been using the disaster to advance their green agenda.

However, Maui County government officials filed a lawsuit this week that reveals the results of the investigations into the fires.

The court filings allege that Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) and its subsidiaries failed to properly power down live electrical equipment amid a red flag windstorm earlier this month.

Due to this failure, downed power lines operated by the utility company sparked a series of deadly fires on the island, the lawsuit claimed.

“The lawsuit alleges that the Defendants acted negligently by failing to power down their electrical equipment despite a National Weather Service Red Flag Warning on August 7th,” Maui County said in a release announcing its lawsuit.

“The lawsuit further alleges HECO’s energized and downed power lines ignited dry fuel such as grass and brush, causing the fires,” the announcement added.

Some of the Woo think

Hawaiian electric is going to have their asses handed to them by lawsuits.

2)a conspiracy to kill and evict Lahaina indigenous people to steal their land is hiding behind the massive incompetence of government officials.

What it shows is evidence that some people may have had advance warning, while others had none. And that it was more than grass and stucco that saved that resort. Coincidence, again, really? I think not...
