(Maui, HI) — Hawaii Governor Josh Green says the search for the remains of additional wildfire victims in Lahaina has now become a race against time. Only a small number of the dead have been identified. Green says undiscovered remains, if not found in time, will be further degraded by rain and other weather conditions, making them more difficult to identify. Seven of the dead were apparently a family discovered in a single household. The death toll in the fires has climbed past 110.
