Here is what Lahaina looked like less than a year ago, a vibrant and popular destination for tourists and home to treasured artifacts of the town’s history.
In an analysis of satellite imagery, The Times identified about 1,900 structures that had been visibly damaged or destroyed by the blaze.
A brush fire was first spotted on Tuesday in an area near Lahaina Intermediate School.
It also destroyed a temple and a pagoda at Lahaina Jodo Mission.
Nearby, one of Lahaina’s most cherished landmarks, a 150-year-old banyan tree, was badly scarred by the wildfires, but still standing.
