Hawaii’s Attorney General, Anne Lopez, announced on Friday the initiation of a comprehensive investigation into the authorities’ response to the wildfires that have caused immense devastation, including the loss of lives and property. “The Department of the Attorney General will be conducting a thorough review of critical decision-making and standing policies leading up to, during, and after the wildfires on Maui and Hawaii islands this week,” the statement from Lopez’s office read.
