Satellite views of the destruction wreaked on the Hawaiian town of Lahaina by an out-of-control wildfire that erupted on the drought-stricken island of Maui earlier this week.

Firefighters were still working late Thursday to contain the fires, which began overnight Tuesday and traveled faster than expected across Maui because of strong winds from Hurricane Dora.

The magnificent tree is the size of a city block, the product of doting efforts by the Lahaina's residents. Aerial footage shows the tree charred but still standing amid a downtown devastated by fire.

The death toll from the catastrophic wildfires in Maui has soared to 36, and officials worry the devastation could intensify as the infernos torch more of the ravaged island.

Fires tore through Maui and leveled entire neighborhoods.

Residents of the popular town of Lahaina described the aftermath of the fires as a "war zone."

Multiple neighbourhoods in Hawaii were burnt to the ground as the western side of the island was nearly cut off as officials told of widespread devastation to Lahaina, its harbour and surrounding areas.
