Unclear how many in Lahaina lost lives as Hawaii authorities near the end of their search for dead
- Crews in Hawaii have almost completed their search for victims of the deadliest U.S. wildfire in over a century, with 115 confirmed deaths and an unknown number of people still missing. Responders are now focusing on removing hazardous waste to make the area safe for residents to return.
- The search and recovery mission is transitioning to the next phase of hazardous waste removal, led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency . Urban search and rescue teams have completed their areas on land, but some search activity continues in the ocean. The FBI is searching a stretch of coastline but has not found any human remains.
- The EPA teams will remove hazardous materials by hand, treat lithium-ion solar-powered batteries as unexploded ordnance, remove large asbestos pieces, and address asbestos in ash in the next cleanup phase. The agency will also mist an adhesive on the ash to prevent migration into the ocean. Cultural observers are integrated into the teams to proceed with caution and respect in Lahaina, a historically significant town.
