Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen Jr said that at least six people have been killed by wildfires in Hawaii, United States. While search and rescue efforts are underway, multiple videos showing the extent of the wildfires in the US State have gone viral on social media. As per reports, several structures and many businesses were destroyed due to the rapid fire which is reportedly said to have spread to several islands. The wildfire has been caused due to the effects of Hurricane Dora. As per a map released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the fires have spread across several islands including Lahaina, on the western edge. Some reports also said that the fires were caused due to a mix of hot and dry conditions. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden on Wednesday ordered "all available Federal assets" to help combat wildfires that have devastated parts of the Hawaiian island of Maui.
