The Maui wildfires have tragically claimed the lives of at least 36 individuals.
The wildfires have completely devastated the town of Lahaina, leaving nothing but smoldering ruins in its wake.
According to authorities, people jumped from cliffs into the ocean to escape the fire and smoke.
Powerful winds allegedly fueled the fire.
Early on Wednesday, residents of West Maui were forced to evacuate.
Observers described the scene as “apocalyptic”.
Watch:
At least 36 people have died.
