Death toll from fire in Hawaii rises to 110

WORLD, Aug 17 (YPA) – The death toll from the unprecedented wildfires in Hawaii has risen to 110, Governor of the State, Josh Green said.

US President Joe Biden announced that he plans to visit the Hawaiian Islands to see the progress of bushfire operations on the island of Maui, when he has the ability.

The fires broke out on Tuesday on Maui’s west coast and were fueled by strong cyclone winds heading south quickly towards the port town of Lahaina, forcing some residents to flee to the ocean.
