The State of Hawai`i is investigating the cause of the Maui wildfires, which began on August 8, 2023 and have killed at least 114 people and destroyed much of Lahaina.

Several news outlets are reporting claims by Maui residents that Hawaiian Electric Industries equipment is responsible for igniting the fires. Several lawsuits have already been filed.
