The American Red Cross is sending volunteers to help out in Maui as deadly wildfires ravage the Hawaiian island. The wildfires are causing mass devastation and loss across the island, especially in Lahaina.
Homes are turned to rubble and ash and people are left running for their lives or hunkering in shelters.
As the country continues to deal with the devastating wildfires that ravaged Maui and resulted in the deaths of dozens of people, those in Arizona with friends and loved ones in the area are still worried. They are waiting for their friends and loved ones to contact them, but communication on the island is still limited. FOX 10's Lindsey Ragas reports.
Laura King will also be on the ground working with volunteers and giving out assignments from Honolulu. She'll be there for three weeks.
