A long-awaited official cause for the Lahaina fire is being left to Maui County to determine, with help from the federal ATF.

It's still not clear how much information about the fund or its applicants will be made public although settlements will be filed in court.

The Maui Police Department was able to quickly bring in the latest DNA technology so a new squad could soon give names to the dead.

A third of the fire's victims died on a narrow dead-end street in central Lahaina, unable to access an alternative route to safety.

The department's preliminary after-action report includes 32 recommendations for improvement.

Some specialist equipment will take years to replace due to supply chain issues.

A small team did their best to juggle a wave of calls and radio transmissions simultaneously. Despite their best efforts, many callers’ questions went unanswered.  

Two members of a task force specializing in forensic analysis will be assigned to the new detail that will reexamine dozens of unsolved cases.

Officers try to mobilize people to leave and cope with a rapidly changing scene. One officer watches his own house burn.

Maui Police Department said a small crew of officers did its best to save lives in Lahaina and elsewhere on Maui in August.
