​​​​​​​View Date：2025-04-12 09:29:29

Hawaiian officials are prepared for the death toll to keep rising from the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century.

More than 100 people were confirmed to have died as of Tuesday night, and recovery crews with cadaver dogs continue to work their way through hundreds of homes and burned-out vehicles in Lahaina, the historic coastal town on the island of Maui. 

These before and after pictures show the extent of the devastation in Lahaina.
