I hope more than anything that is not the case here. Hard to live with that.

So heart wrenching. They lost at least 2 rigs. This type 1 and a type 6 in lahainaā¦we just placed an order and the leaf time is now a woping 42 months! I hope they werenāt thin on apparatus.

What is the status on the fire? Containment? Iām deeply involved in moving right now and this is about all the news I get. I just moved out of Santa Rosa, CA after 33 years. I saw Coffey Park first hand. My heart goes out to those folks.

Son just texted another fire started in Kaanapali. They donāt have a scanner for any of the emergency services on Maui, only the big island, so canāt confirm 100%. Does anybody have access to satellite heat signatures for maui?

There are no obvious fire GOES fire detections on Maui in the last 6 hours.
That does not mean that there were no fires.
Fires in light fuel may need to be more than 5 acres to be detectable in some circumstances.

Could be. Your feature is clearer in the 3.9 micron band alone. Your color scale is much sharper than the greyscale on the RAMMB Slider.

Itās scarred but appears to have a healthy head of canopy on it from veiws from the air. It should survive.

The New York Times reports that there was a new fire in Kaanapali (a town immediately north of Lahaina) near a county fueling station that was preparing to distribute fuel to residents. Evacuations were triggered. Maui County officials said the fire was 100% contained by 8:30 PM (2030) .
The image below shows an elevated signal in GOES Band 7 (3.9 microns, the āfire bandā).
This image is from 1621 local time.

If your unfamiliar with Lahaina as I am, this video walking tour of Front Street puts into perspective the losses just in this relatively short walk.

You are comparing a fire on Maui with a fire on the Big Island of Hawaii.
