Incredible incompetence? Or malice in Maui?
A terrifying fire struck Maui in 2018.
Officials were warned of a repeat.
"West Maui groups and activists had been “begging and begging and begging” for disaster planning, including more emergency management funds and more fire stations, said Joseph Pluta, the head of the West Maui Taxpayers Association.

Pluta said the county declined to participate, so the plan never went anywhere."
