The death toll in the wildfires rose to 93, Maui County officials said, as recovery teams continued their sweep of charred neighborhoods. Two had been identified but their names were not released.
The county also reported that the 678-acre Upcountry/Kula Fire was 60% contained, the 2,170-acre Lahaina fire was at 85%; and the Pulehu/Kihei fire was fully contained.
Hawaiian Electric said power had been restored to 60% of customers who had been without since Tuesday, as crews continued working to get about 5,000 other customers back online.
Essential service providers — a market and two gas stations — reopened in Lahaina, and free shuttles were being offered from shelters to stores in the area.
Gov. Josh Green said state officials were investigating whether anything more could have been done to activate sirens early enough to warn residents about wildfires.
