Massive wildfires are turning Maui into ash and rubble, and people from Utah are helping those in need. The American Red Cross is gearing up to deploy experts and experienced volunteers who can help.
MAUI, Hawaii — It has been a few days of massive wildfires turning the beautiful Hawaiian island of Maui into ash and rubble, and people from the Beehive State are helping those in need. The American Red Cross said they are gearing up to deploy experts and experienced volunteers who can help on the islands. They are planning to help for months, as long as Maui needs them.
We are just beginning to understand the scope of the devastation caused by the #MauiWildfires and we know the road to recovery will be long. “It’s going to be a very challenging situation in that 3-week time commitment — that’s 12-hour days. These are people that are really dedicated to the mission of alleviating human suffering,” said Stevens.
