We fought hard to keep the fire away from our properties, but we couldn't stop it. The water shut off, and even the firemen couldn't refill their trucks.

I want to share the reality of what's happening here because the media isn't doing a good job. We're emotionally damaged, physically injured, and many have lost family members. Only 25% of the burn zone has been searched, yet there have already been 110 deaths. Over 1,300 people, including myself, are without a home. Finding housing and jobs is already difficult, and now it's even worse. The community here is strong, with people coming together to help, but others aren't doing anything. The government isn't providing enough assistance, and people on the mainland have no idea about the extent of the disaster. Our alarm system is the strongest, yet there's no attention. We've lost everything, and 1,300 people are displaced with 100 dead. Our tourism industry, our main source of income, is gone, and recovery will take decades. We need support, but it seems no one will stick around to help. Please spread the message.

We worked hard, but received no help. Our phones didn't work from 5 in the morning. When we went to work at 10 o'clock, the fire was still raging and there was no water. It's not a coincidence.

It's August 11, 2023, and I'm in Lahaina after a catastrophic fire. There are X's in front of many houses and cars, indicating that bodies have been searched for. The fire was so hot that it melted the wheels and aluminum of the cars. I can't access the internet, so I don't know the exact details. The smell here is unbearable, like rotting animals. The devastation is unimaginable. This used to be a normal neighborhood with kids playing basketball. I had to stop filming because there are dead animal bodies ahead. I'm not sure if I can show that on TikTok. I'll edit the rest of the footage when we have power again.

The smoke was so thick inside our home, and although we were insured, being displaced for almost a year was challenging. I can only imagine the difficulty of losing a home.

Hi, I'm Kate from Lahaina, Maui. Our town was evacuated due to a fire, and we're currently displaced, staying with family. I want to clarify that the news is reporting 86 casualties, but the actual count is estimated to be between 500 and 1000 people. The evacuation notice came only 5 minutes before we had to leave, and the tsunami sirens, which are functional, were not sounded. Our town is completely destroyed, and our lives have been forever changed. I urge you to cancel your trip to Maui and not use our resources, as we are in desperate need of them.

I know I'm not supposed to be here, but this is my parents' home. They just lost their fire insurance after 75 years, and now at 90 years old, they're facing this crisis. It's frustrating to see how insurance companies treat residents who support California. I live in Sierra Madre, and my parents are also here, but their house is still standing.

The house, built by my parents in 1960, holds countless memories for me. Losing it would be devastating, as rebuilding would be financially impossible due to high property taxes. While preparing the house during the fire, I noticed no fire trucks were present. If they had responded quickly, many homes, including those behind me, could have been saved from the small spark that ignited the flames. I took action to protect my home, doing everything I could in that moment.

Hi there. I know I'm not supposed to be here, but this is my parents' home. They just lost their fire insurance after 75 years, and they're 90 years old. Now they have no coverage while dealing with this situation. Thank you, California insurance companies, for your support. It's frustrating to see why people leave California. I live in Sierra Madre, and my parents are also there. I know the area is under evacuation, but I had to come back. Under the circumstances, I’m willing to face the consequences. It’s unbelievable what’s happening to the neighbors. My parents' house is still standing, and I have a hose, but it doesn't compare to what my beloved neighbors are going through.
