Najmanje 55 ljudi poginulo je u katastrofalnom požaru na Mauiju, rekli su u petak mjesni dužnosnici, a strahuje se da bi broj mrtvih mogao biti i veći jer potraga za nestalima još traje.

“Dok vatrogasci nastavljaju s radom, danas su potvrđene još dvije žrtve u aktivnom požaru u Lahaini. Time je broj poginulih porastao na 55”, priopćio je okrug Mauija. Najmanje 20 ljudi zadobilo je teške opekotine, a neki su u kritičnom stanju.

Vlada okruga Maui priopćila je da je do sada 14.900 posjetitelja otišlo s otoka. Voditelj havajskog udruženja vatrogasaca Bobby Lee rekao je lokalnim medijima na Havajima da je poznato da je 14 vatrogasaca izgubilo svoje domove u požarima.

Lahaina izgorjela do temelja

Na Maui je iz Kalifornije i države Washington upućeno još spasilačkih ekipa s potražnim psima. Načelnik policije Mauija John Pelletier rekao je da se za određen broj ljudi još ne zna gdje se nalaze, ali je teško reći točno koliko, dijelom zbog problema s telekomunikacijama.

Oko 11.000 kućanstava još je bez struje, javlja portal poweroutage.us. Dužnosnici okruga Maui procijenili su da je požar koji je progutao bivši kraljevski glavni grad oko 80 posto pod kontrolom. “Izgorio je do temelja”, rekao je gradonačelnik Mauija Richard Bissen govoreći o povijesnom priobalnom gradu Lahaini.

Guverner Havaja Josh Green rekao je da će gotovo sve zgrade morati biti iznova sagrađene, što će stajati milijarde dolara i pozvao hotele da smjeste tisuće ljudi koji su ostali bez domova. Organizirano je najmanje šest prihvatilišta, a gotovo 30.000 turista je evakuirano, izvijestio je CNN, pozivajući se na turističke vlasti.
