Raging wildfires have killed at least six and created a state of emergency in Maui on Wednesday. The fires, which started in the town of Lahaina in Maui, caused by winds from Hurricane Dora, have forced evacuations of residents and tourists throughout the island, particularly in North Kohala, South Kohala, Kula, and Lahaina, which has long been one of the island's most popular tourist spots. Outside of the six already killed, the island's mayor, Richard Bissen Jr., said on Wednesday that several more people are also unaccounted for and that 'many' businesses and buildings in the town of Lahaina have burned to the ground.
