At least six people died, dozens were wounded and 271 structures were damaged or destroyed.

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

The wildfire on Hawaii's Maui Island killed at least 96 people, making it the deadliest American wildfire in over a century.

  • 2,700+ structures were destroyed. Damage is estimated at $5.6 billion.

The death toll surpassed the 2018 Camp Fire in northern California, which left 85 dead and destroyed the town of Paradise.

  • 1918's Cloquet forest fire in northern Minnesota killed 453 people.

They were alone in a fight to survive. Maui residents had moments to make life-or-death choices

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — The smoke was starting to blot out the sun. Winds were howling, and heat bore down as flames licked the trees on the horizon. The power had been out all day, so Mike Cicchino thought he’d drive to the hardware store for a generator. He turned off his street, and in an instant, his Lahaina neighborhood seemed to spiral into a war zone.

🌺 Maui's tourism conundrum

The sight of tourists swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing on Maui's beaches — while rescue teams continue to search through the rubble left behind by wildfires — is outraging residents.

  • But some local authorities and businesses welcome the travelers, saying their presence will boost the island's economy during its rebuilding period, Reuters reports.

Stunning stat: Around 80% of Maui's wealth comes from tourism, per its economic development board. A pause on tourism while the island grieves and recovers would deal a massive blow to its economy.

  • "When you restrict any travel to a region, you really devastate its own local residents in many ways more than anyone else," Hawai'i Gov. Josh Green said.

The Maui Emergency Management Agency's administrator abruptly resigned after facing criticism over the response to catastrophic wildfires, which killed at least 111 people.

  • Herman Andaya cited "health reasons" as he resigned, effective immediately, Axios' Rebecca Falconer writes from a Maui County statement.

Andaya had defended his agency's decision not to sound warning sirens.

  • He said they're primarily used for tsunamis — and said residents are "trained to seek higher ground" when they hear the sirens, which could have put them in more danger.

Adventist Organizations Step Up to Help Recovery Efforts in Maui

According to a recent press release, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is collaborating with Adventist Health and Adventist Community Services (ACS) to aid in the recovery of Maui communities impacted by devastating wildfires. Over $100,000 in goods and cash is being contributed by ADRA to bolster the efforts of ACS and Adventist Health in response to the wildfires that have tragically claimed the lives of over 114 Hawaiians. The fires, believed to have been ignited by a malfunctioning electrical system and exacerbated by wind gusts from Hurricane Dora, have ravaged more than 2,000 homes, residential villages, and a significant portion of the island’s west side, displacing thousands.
