One year later we remember the Lahaina we all once shared, and the people we sadly lost. The Lahaina
fire was one of the biggest losses of life due to a wildfire in American history to date. We lost 102 lovely members of our community, and two are still missing. A beautiful memorial has been created along the Lahaina Bypass lined with crosses, photos, leis, and lights to remember them every day.

Many Lahaina residents are still anxiously waiting to go back to their properties. Many of the 2,200 homes have been cleared, with gravel being placed on their property once it has passed through the stages of clean up. There are multiple companies that have been working tirelessly day in and day out to clear the debris and free the soil of toxins so all residents can return to their properties and begin rebuilding. For many it seems like a daunting process, but there are organizations that are helping make this process a little bit easier.
Just like other previous disasters on the mainland, people tend to move on and forget about the destruction of the community, as well as the survivors and the struggles they face trying to rebuild their lives. Please remember Lahaina, and the community that has welcomed you in years past. For many visitors, their memories are filled with enjoyable times on Front Street, eating at one of the many restaurants or browsing local shops for souvenirs, but it's the people that make up this wonderful community.
