#Maui #Wildfires #Lahaina
Watch, it was caused by the electric company, no warnings went out because if there are no survivors then the property can be sold off to investors…
NBC show the other videos
How did the top of the telephone pole catch fire when the fire hadn’t reached it yet.
Exactly! And how did a green and lush hedge or bush catch fire, when the “wildfire” was nowhere near it?!?? Deep state pigs!
woah..negligence from the hireichey 😢
What an amazing couple! ❤️❤️💝💝
*YOU VOTED FOR THIS !!* #NoSympathy
They voted for a wildfire?
@John Banger.
Their votes led to the wildfire, and led to the massive destruction resulting from said wildfire.
Good karma comes around also.
What we have learned: Blue metal roofs, bury the electric lines!
Shoulda painted the roof blue
Weird to see trees not burned..cars burned in the middle of open fields…and all the movement from the magical fire
You are lacking in knowledge. Open a book and read about how wildfires move and how trees manage to survive.
Natural fire or microwaved massacre?

This video is old! God bless maui
It’s ok, the bushes and trees 🌳 🌲 don’t actually burn within direct energy weapons are the cause.
Apparently the citizens need all original video and pictures they have as evixence agsindt their officsls..
So sad for our ohanas! Prayers are with you for your future!😢🙏😇😭💔
More helpful than then the fire dept and police. May God be with all of you. We see what really happened. We all have!
Someone created that fire. It comes down to who is buying the land? Corporate greed? A conceidience? 🤔
Oprah and Dwayne ! Look! This is how it´s been done! Not talking. Doing!
Police blocked roads out.. No warnings for citizens, fires are suspiciously odd
Talk about the 2000+ missing children that are not accounted for….
Amazed he had water because the gov’t turned off the fire hydrant water just to make it things worse.
Oh no !. God bless you. It is heart wrenching.
How did this guy use his garage door opener if the electricity was turned off for 6 hours before the second fire started?
Maui Officials will not take responsibility for the Lahaina fire or your Family’s safety on Vacation.
If they’d do controlled burns like so many other places it might cut down on fires going wild.
The fat woman did not want to help nobody xD
Not being alerted is the story but news will drop it!
Take some personal responsibility. So you didn’t get a text. When you see and smell a bunch of smoke, get out.
Praise God for a person that cares for others!! ❤
How about Buddha
Calm down Biden is sending them 700$ for loosing there homes and family members. While his administration give s 25 billon more to Ukraine… ohio is up shet creek without a paddle also… stop voting for Democrats. Easy fix .
The city trying to lie and say there was a warning, wow!
THERE WAS NO WARNING FOR ANYONE!
How despicable of them all, just making it even worse with their VERIFIABLE LIES.
That was truly beautiful.
Now THAT is appreciation. Dude put him in his WILL! Never heard of that with a stranger before.
That’s weird. Leheina water was turned off as they said that the reason it was off was because they couldn’t get this special permission from a nearby farmer where the water into Leheina is controlled 🤔 and that’s why the fire hydrants were dry and no firetruck were able to put out the fire. Was this staged you think?
She is gross 😝
It is NOT POSSIBLE for a wildfire to suddenly leap hundred meters and ignite a green hedge!!!!! NO WAY! This was a created and intentional fire by the dumb Deep state PIGS!!
Homie is in a random person’s will now
Where all the BOTS claiming these wildfires were also caused by arson? 🤡🤡🤡
Maui government officials let thousands of people die as part of their climate change propaganda strategy.
NBC is dangerously fake news. Zero journalism on the cause of the fire. Zero journalism on the reason for no emergency alerts. Zero journalism on the government plan to take private property.
Show the blocked roads video!
Where are the children of Maui?!
This was a character building moment, humanity at its finest. God smiles.
0:36 what? THE FIRE!!! 😂
why didnt everyone do this from the starting point of the fire? they just waited until it increased
Good man.
While you have journalists there, could you please investigate where 1,000+ children disappeared to?? Water turned off, no sirens, roads were blocked….. we aren’t letting this slide
Not all heroes wear capes.
I don’t get it when he said putting them in there will
Why did people not get the notification??????
Stop calling them Wildfires when it was arson.
Always spray the base of the fire. Even though this house looks metal, and the shrubs and bushes show no signs of dried out foliage, where the fire seems to be in the uh, ,roots ?
Time to upgrade all your systems on that island.
Nice. You never know when it’s your time to jump into action. He made the right choice.
So…. he stole their water.
Paying taxes so Officials can make excuses for their failures!
How did the fire start on the ground? So random & scary!
My family and I were vacationing in Lahaina arriving there on Sunday, August 6. Our AirBnb condo was located near Baby Beach. We woke up on Tuesday, August 8 to having no power. After calling the property manager we found out that the whole west Maui had no power due to downed power lines caused by the strong winds. There was NO mention of the early morning fire. When we went to get some breakfast around 8:15 AM, we saw a line of cars heading out east on Front Street. Still NO mention of fire. In fact, the Bakery in Lahaina that we went to, they too did not seemed concerned about anything other than the power outage. We came back to the condo and decided to go sightseeing and get lunch on the east side. We left the condo around 12:15 in the afternoon. Still NO indication that by then there were two fires burning. There was absolutely no alarm issued about the possible dangers of the fire spreading. Because we had absolutely no clue about the fires at all!
Poor Stephen…😂
Oprah probably had those people arrested… how dare they keep her and her rich friends from buying the land for cheap
get real… there was no notification because they did not want anyone notified … they wanted everyone dead
Not very smart he risked their lives for a piece of property.
A good man, a man of action with brass balls! Give him a medal and monetary compensation
What an awesome guy, helping people he didn’t even know. You’ll be rewarded in Heaven!
DEW, orchestrated fires, missing kids…. They only found elderly? The kids were “released” from school while the parents were at work??? OPRAH’s BASEMENT? Where are the kids???? I lived there in 2010 when Oprah was having her house built. She had the construction workers sign NDAs. One of them was my babysitter. SEPARATELY from that, while watching videos about this tragedy someone mentioned she has a basement?! This video mentions alleged child trafficking in Africa?! WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN???????????? THERE ARE GUARDS THERE NOW? How come no one is talking about the very strategic and symmetrical fires line patterns up and down along the mountains??? The Simpson prediction? How did she have fire fighters before it started and the people had no water? Did you see her video that it’s was so hard handling out supplies and she had to go to the store to buy diapers to donate (instead of donating then?). WHERE ARE THE KIDS?????????
Too bad Biden has spent over 150 billion on the Ukraine war. That money could have rebuilt Maui
That lady is a real mainland Karen. lol 🤣😂
MUD SHARKS 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Ok. Pero digeron Que. en Lahaina no Avia Agua n Lahaina Nono weather n Lahaina
Aloha. The definition of family. 😉
These are Americans on American soil in a very bad way,, Given the totality of the circumstances.. the response by The United States of America should have resembled the D-Day landings in 1944.
I want to know was their house save as well? but am glad they’re okay 2 ❤❤❤
Liberals willing killed George Floyd for funding
HARD PROOF – GOOGLE the following phrase exactly : “Eric West Provides Irrefutable Proof of DEW Weapons in Maui ‘Dustifying’ Homes and Cars Aug 29 2023”
This guy is a hero for what he did to save house that took courage being the was planned by evil people. Yet This fire was not natural it was too wild to natural fire. Natural fires burn everything an cars window would shatter not melt the only way the windows melt is if the temp is above 2400 hundred degrees an FYI natural fires burn less then 2400 hundred degrees so was it natural NO!! All planned so the filthy rich could take island for themselves they destroyed lifes and people to take by force the land. That’s EVIL . Don’t believe the lies you are told. Look at outside sources outside the typical news
Glory to God! Give that man the key to the island.
This makes me cry. What a wonderful human. And I know there are more stories like this that will surface soon. Thank you Steven for what you did for your neighbors.
Unbelievable Elites seriously value only themselves and their immediate family and friends. Please remember mainstream media are bold faced liars funded by the likes of Soros and and Schwab.
“EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION (SONG FOR LAHAINA)” Original Song by Kevin O’Donnell https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DkJdDpm9-Es
So was the water only shut off in certain areas?
What a hero! And I really mean that, human kind at it’s best. What I can’t understand is we were just (and I mean just) outside Lahaina, arriving from the UK and 2 of us had bought USA sims for our phones but the only Evacuation Alert was received on my son’s UK (Tesco Mobile) sim, whilst no alert at al was received on our new activated US sims. By the time my son received the alert, the police had already, thankfully, stopped us entering the town. I don’t think we’d have gone mush further anyway, as the sky had suddenly turned black.
Search 48 yr old arborist. Interesting video re the trees.
Let it be a note to wives everywhere just shut up and let the man save the neighborhood. Please. Big scary fire yeah I know but the aghhh! Jesus Christ! come on! is so unhelpful
Mainstream doesn’t want to cover the missing kids why am I not surprised
Brazo Zulu, that man took action and got things done. Nice story to see someone doing good for a change, awesome guy.
Fear not, the Biden administration will send you millions… on wait, no, this is not Ukraine.
Why are we not giving more money to Ukraine? Who cares about a state in our own union? Maybe we’ll depend on donations from regular people instead of billionaires that have property there like Oprah and Mark Zuckerberg.
