Remembering Lahaina Town
Lahaina Town, which means “scorching sun” in Hawaiian, witnessed a tragic turn of events in August 2023. A devastating brush fire swept through the area, reducing the charming town to ashes. This catastrophic event claimed the lives of more than a hundred people, leaving a community in mourning. In the wake of this tragedy, over 700 individuals were reported missing, casting a somber shadow over the town’s history.
