(Maui, HI) The death toll from wildfires in Hawaii has risen to more than 50 –and dozens have been hurt as fires continue to burn.

Evacuations are on going, as over 15-hundred homes and businesses have been severely damaged or destroyed.  Firefighters have made progress containing the fires across Maui –with flames being fanned by Hurricane Dora which skirted Hawaii.
