Hawaii Faces New Fire Risk as High Winds Threaten Dry Areas: A Recurring Climate Crisis

Doug McIntyre discusses the potential danger Hawaii faces as 80-mile-an-hour winds approach dry areas on Maui and the Big Island, regions that experienced a devastating wildfire last year. He highlights that climate crises tend to recur in the same areas, and Hawaii’s remote regions lack sophisticated firefighting and irrigation systems. McIntyre warns that if conditions remain dry, another fire could easily ignite, whether by an electrical fault, a cigarette, or arson, making it a matter of time before another disaster strikes.
