Investigators are examining evidence to determine how a small Fire sparked by downed power lines grew into a deadly wildfire in Maui. The fire, which destroyed thousands of structures and killed at least 97 people, may have been fueled by an overgrown gully beneath Hawaiian Electric Co. power lines. The area had not been properly maintained, despite being in a high-risk wildfire zone. Hawaiian Electric is facing lawsuits alleging negligence and has argued that its lines had been turned off by the time the fire reignited. The investigation is ongoing, and findings are not expected for months.
