Every fire truck they had should have been close to the fire line. Which should be far from where people are allowed or already evacuated from. I will say with downed utilities I don’t think people on the mainland realize how much energy companies keep an eye on the weather and mobilize repairmen in nearby states so they can quickly sweep in after the damage is done. We rely so much on neighboring states to launch logistics from in times of crisis. Federal aid always comes in later. The Red Cross will show up before the feds. The federal government has to be asked for aid by the state. It is part of respecting a state’s rights. It also takes time to call out the National Guard. Being in a disaster zone sucks. I’ve had the experience this year. I’m still in one technically because it’s my neighborhood. (Tornado) There will definitely be after action reports to see how the response was handled. I think in Maui many will see how they could have done better. They will have to live with that for the rest of their lives. Maui and Hawaii in general is not known for their massive wildfires. As a whole every state needs to be prepared for once in a lifetime events. The general populace needs to be more aware of the expectations the government has about how you will care for yourself in an emergency. Last I checked FEMA expects every American to have a 14 day supply of potable water and they base their plans on that expectation.
