Wildfires have been torching the historic town of Lahaina, Hawaii for days, wiping it to rubble. 55 people are confirmed dead and 1,000 are reported missing. One local family is trying to help their family impacted in Hawaii.
Borneman, his wife and two kids tell FOX 29 they left their home with little notice. "I don’t know how else to put it. It was like a movie scene."
The Wildwood native, clearly emotional, said despite how much they’ve lost, he feels blessed to be alive with his family. "What’s next for me? I don’t know, but we’ll figure it out. I just hope we can get things back. It’s gonna take time."
