What happened in Maui, Hawaii today?
A massive wildfire is burning in Maui, prompting airlines to cancel flights out of concern for crews and passengers.
The raging fires killed at least six people and causing what is expected to be billions of dollars in damages. Climate change could prompt more of the same.
The mayor of Lahaina says the main focus of the authorities is to "save lives" as wildfires continue to sweep through the town, which was a popular shopping and dining area.
