This negligence that resulted in the Lahaina Disaster includes lack of preparation and equipment for handling the readily foreseeable danger of a large Wild Fire affecting the historic town of Lahaina
True. They are all on the small size. Single company (1 engine + 2 other apparatus). The biggest problem to me is only 10 stations covering 700 sq miles, but I am no expert. My home town with pop 100k and 16 sq miles has 8 stations each with single engine companies. Multiple stations can respond to a fire within minutes. But certainly having larger stations (up to 3 companies) could address this problem on Maui as well. They don't hv to pay for schools and hv the lowest property taxes in the country . Certainly they can hv a better equipped fire department in the “Age of Global Boiling”. More fire engines/firefighters, fewer wind mills. Let the billionaires pay more property tax

The fire stations are woefully under equipped, as well.
Thank you, you were thorough!
