☆ Fire Blanketed Lahaina in Toxic Debris. Where Can They Put It?
  + stars: | 2024-01-25 | by ( Mike Baker | Lisa L. Schell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When a firestorm consumed the Hawaii town of Lahaina last year, killing 100 people, it left behind a toxic wasteland of melted batteries, charred propane tanks, and miles of debris tainted by arsenic and lead. Crews have already removed some of the most hazardous items, shipping them out for disposal on the mainland. Now begins the even more formidable task of collecting hundreds of thousands of tons of additional debris and soil — enough to cover five football fields about five stories high. Even as excavators began filling dump trucks this month, the question of where it should all ultimately go remained unanswered. For now, the county has chosen a “temporary” dump site in Olowalu, a few miles south of Lahaina on the West Maui coastline.

☆ Hawaii delayed diverting water that could have helped Maui wildfires, letters obtained by CNN allege

CNN —A state agency delayed a water management company’s request to make more water available to fight the devastating wildfires in Maui earlier this month, according to letters obtained by CNN. The agency told Tremble that his company first had to ask about impacts on downstream users, according to the letter. Tremble told CNN by that time, his company’s water system manager left the area to evacuate his family and other staff couldn’t be reached. In a follow-up letter, Tremble thanked the chairperson for the prompt response. “This deployment does not suggest that First Deputy Manuel did anything wrong.”The agency declined to comment on whether quicker approval of West Maui Land Company’s request would have helped firefighters.

[1/5] Yadira Ulloa, 55, sits outside her daughter's home in Lahaina after her home was destroyed during the Lahaina fire on the island of Maui in Hawaii, U.S., August 15, 2023. "God guided me," she said as she recalled the day last Tuesday when a wildfire ripped apart her community. The gas station, she later learned, exploded when the wildfire reached it, and the apartment building burned to the ground. The inferno killed at least 101 people after racing from grasslands outside town into Lahaina. Ulloa, who works as a housekeeper, and her daughter found refuge with an older daughter in the village of Olowalu.
