There’s a reason it did. Those fires were propelled by incredibly fast winds, and spread much faster than emergency services anticipated. It basically jumped 70 miles over the course of an hour.
How many hours does it take the emergency system to kick on?
In this case, at least one.

Conspiracy theory here. Please note the high level of conspiracy-ness of this.
Hawaii is pretty isolated from the rest of the mainland. Getting things to Hawaii is pretty difficult. Getting business in Hawaii is pretty difficult without a lot of handshakes.
A lot of businesses were burned. Local Hawaiian businesses. Hawaiian corporations. The Hawaiian Old Guard. A robust fire system suddenly not working?
If we see a bunch of multinationals move in to help repair, and “stay a bit longer”, then I’m going to call it a takeover.
It’s not like this type of action doesn’t have historical roots either.
I have a buddy who helps out with fires on another island. Their department asked if help was needed during the fires and was denied multiple times. My buddy says it was probably bad training, which seems to fit with a lot of the story. Lots of disasters happen because of bad training.
Well, it ain’t “robust” if it didn’t sound. Shitty headline, really.
Not robust enough. Two hurricanes heading their way too. Bye Hawaii 👋🏼
There’s at least one event per year like this. Oh wait, more like 15-20 globally.
Nobody travels so they don’t acknowledge nor recognize the signs.
I’ve been watching the environment collapse from different parts of the world for 2 decades.
GLHF.
ok
If we all traveled like globe-treking hotshots, the planet would be even less hospitable.
Global travel is going to be seen less favorably, I think.
