Lahaina Maui residents are questioning the government's failure to issue fire alarms, delayed water supply during fires, and the power company's long-standing disregard for fire warnings.

 

Despite fires scorching over 100,000 acres on Maui from 2016 to 2020:

 

•Maui's Emergency Management Agency didn't activate Lahaina's emergency sirens.

 

•Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources took hours to approve diverting water from Upcountry Maui to help Lahaina firefighters.

 

•Hawaiian Electric ignored fire risks, powerline upgrades, and grid improvements, focusing on shifting to 100% renewable energy by 2045 as mandated by the State.

 

Lahaina, Maui, witnessed the destruction of over 2,700 structures valued at around $5.6 billion.

 

Despite the Federal government allocating $115 billion to Ukraine, they offered only $1.9 million ($700 per household) to Lahaina.

 

FEMA, with a yearly budget of $30 billion and 12,000 employees, is being outperformed in food and supply distribution by Maui citizens, according to local reports.

 

Lahaina, Maui, serves as a stark illustration of the adage, "Government isn't the solution to our problems; government is the problem."

“Island Style”

On the Island, we do it Island Style

From the mountain to the ocean from the windward to the leeward side

On the Island, we do it Island Style

From the mountain to the ocean from the windward to the leeward side

 

Mama's in the kitchen cooking dinner real nice

Beef stew on the stove, lomi salmon with the ice

We eat and drink and we sing all day

Kanikapila in the old Hawaiian way

 

On the Island, we do it Island Style

From the mountain to the ocean from the windward to the leeward side

We go grandma's house on the weekend clean yard

If we no go, grandma gotta work hard

You know my grandma, she like the poi real sour

I love my grandma every minute, every hour

JUST IN - An independent Maui company has unveiled new evidence suggesting that equipment failures in the power grid likely triggered multiple fires.

 

The data was collected through a network of smart sensors known as Ting, distributed to homeowners by insurers.

 

These sensors, designed to spot electrical hazards at homes, also detect grid-wide issues in real time.

 

For example, on August 7th at 10:47 p.m., an explosion occurred near Maui Bird Conservation Center in Upcountry Maui. Soon after, flames appeared along the tree line.

 

Ting's data analysis showed that ten nearby sensors recorded a sudden voltage drop at that exact time—an unmistakable sign of a grid fault.

 

Such faults involve abnormal electric currents due to equipment failures, like transformer explosions, fallen power lines, or line contact.

 

These faults, seen in the bird sanctuary explosion video, can cause sparks or arcs, potentially releasing molten metal fragments.

 

Within the same period, 78 sensors across the island identified 122 grid faults, mainly due to strong winds.

 

In West Maui, data indicated significant grid stress. Lahaina saw 34 faults between late evening and early morning, increasing in frequency and intensity.

 

Meanwhile, Ting data aligned with a Lahaina power outage. During the outage, a local resident recorded a downed power line near his home, sparked by strong winds igniting dry grass.

 

Concerning the fatal fire that destroyed Lahaina town, indications suggest power grid issues played a role.

 

CEO Bob Marshall, who installed Ting sensors across Maui, explained that any of the noted faults could have triggered fires, underscoring the likelihood of power grid problems as a major contributing factor.
