Maui fire after-action report to identify strengths, weaknesses in response to deadly Hawaii wildfires
Fox News
The Maui Fire Department is set to release an after-action report following up on their response to the Lahaina wildfire and the others that burned Hawaii that day.
The reports could help officials understand exactly what happened when the wind-whipped fire overtook the historic Maui town of Lahaina, destroying roughly 3,000 properties and causing more than $5.5 billion in estimated damage, according to state officials.
The Western Fire Chiefs Association produced the after-action report for the Maui Fire Department. After-action reports are frequently used by military organizations, emergency response agencies, government entities and even companies to help identify the strengths and weaknesses of the organization's response to an emergency.
