2 years after Maui fires, support for survivors remains strong
Published on July 31, 2025
Two years after wildfires tore through West and Upcountry Maui — devastating the historic beachfront town of Lahaina and killing more than 100 people — the community spirit remains strong despite the continued challenge of rebuilding homes, businesses and livelihoods.
Construction has ramped up in Lahaina, allowing for some businesses to reopen and some residents to return. The public can now drive through more areas as debris removal is completed (some are still open only to residents or remain completely closed).
