People in Hawaii flee into ocean to escape wildfires

Driven by powerful winds, wildfires tore through multiple structures in various areas of Hawaii, including the historic town of Lahaina.

The flames prompted evacuations, school closures, and dramatic rescue efforts on Wednesday, as a dozen individuals sought refuge from the smoke and inferno by escaping into the ocean.

Responding to the crisis, the U.S. Coast Guard swiftly intervened to aid those who had sought solace in the water to escape the fire and the thick haze.

In a statement, the County of Maui reported the Coast Guard’s involvement, and a tweet from the Coast Guard confirmed the successful rescue of 12 people off the coast of Lahaina, the Associated Press reported.
