People walk along Main Street past wildfire damage in Lahaina, Hawai‘i, on Friday, Aug. 11, 2023.

LAHAINA, Hawai‘i — Governor Josh Green on Wednesday afternoon added four more people to the list of people killed in a fire that decimated the town of Lahaina on Maui last week.

Green said 110 people are confirmed dead and that 38 percent of the disaster area has been searched.

“It makes us heartbroken,” Green said at a news conference.

He also said about 2,000 homes and businesses remained without electricity in the area, and that those people would also be eligible for services if they are suffering without power.

So they’re looking for electricians in Maui? Or laborers to pick up rubbish. But this would be volunteer and no pay. Is that correct? Or is there a pay, but a small fee to pay for. Like sleep under the stars while you’re working there. Is that correct?
