<p>The governor of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hawaii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hawaii</a> said on Thursday that the death toll from the fire that burned a historic Maui town to the ground is likely well north of 60 fatalities.</p>
<p>Governor Josh Green (D) <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/08/10/us/wildfires-maui-hawaii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CNN that the more than 1,700 buildings were destroyed in the fire, totaling billions of dollars in damages.</p>
<p>&#8220;In 1960, we had 61 fatalities when a large wave came through the Big Island,&#8221; Green added. &#8220;This time, it’s very likely that our death totals will significantly exceed that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Maui County <a href="https://www.mauicounty.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=12669">said</a> in an update late Thursday afternoon that an additional 17 fatalities have been discovered since its last update, bringing the total number of deaths to 53 people.</p>
<p>The blazes erupted on Tuesday and continued to wreak havoc on the community in the western part of the island while flames raged in other areas.</p>

<p>The U.S. Coast Guard used a 45-foot boat to rescue at least 14 people who were forced to run into the Pacific Ocean to escape the fires and thick plumes of smoke.</p>
<p>The U.S. Military has also been deployed to respond to the emergency, sending helicopters and other equipment to assist with rescue and firefighting operations.</p>
<p>“The U.S. Army 25th Combat Aviation Brigade deployed two UH-60 Blackhawks and one CH-47 Chinook to Hawaii Island to conduct firefighting operations,” <a href="https://www.cpf.navy.mil/Newsroom/News/Article/3489089/us-indo-pacific-command-assets-provide-firefighting-support-to-maui-and-hawaii/">said</a> the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. “Additionally, U.S. Navy Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 sent MH-60R Seahawk helicopters to assist the U.S. Coast Guard in search and rescue operations.”</p>
