Woman who escaped Lahaina wildfire by running through burning field dies
Laurie Allen tragically died as a result of the devastating fire in Lahaina, Maui. She was in a vehicle trying to escape the flames, but their path was blocked by a fallen tree.
The fire in Lahaina was the deadliest in the U.S. in over a century, destroying thousands of buildings including homes. It was sparked by a fallen power line igniting dry brush and grass.
Lahaina residents are now facing the challenge of rebuilding and returning home, with concerns over housing costs in the expensive area. Nonprofits are providing support and resources to help those affected.
