The death toll from the\u00a0wildfires that ravaged the resort town of Lahaina<\/a>\u00a0on the island of Maui jumped to 55 on Friday. Local authorities believe the count may rise, and recovery of remains could be days or even weeks.<\/p>\n

On the heels of Hawaii declaring a state of emergency, President Biden\u00a0approved Hawaii’s disaster declaration<\/a>\u00a0on Thursday, allowing federal funds to pour into Maui County.<\/p>\n

“Anyone who’s lost a loved one, whose home has been damaged or destroyed, is going to get help immediately,” Biden said.<\/p>\n

He continued, “Damage assessments are continuing, and additional forms of assistance may be designated after the assessments are fully completed.”<\/p>\n

Earlier, Maui County Fire Chief Brad Ventura said the fire that leveled Lahaina was 80% contained. None of the fires burning in the area are 100% contained.<\/p>\n
