Maui’s search and rescue teams have reportedly located in excess of 450 bodies, as per statements made by a local resident leading grassroots relief initiatives to support victims of the devastating fire that swept through Lahaina earlier this month.
“I guarantee you right now, from what has been seen, the number is over 450 and it’s gonna get — it’s gonna get closer to 1,000,” Maui resident Dale Hermo-Fernandez, who has close contacts inside local recovery efforts, said in a recent exclusive interview with Breitbart News.
“They’re not giving the number until they toe-tag them and identify them, which is understandable,” he said. “It’s guaranteed in the four hundreds. More than likely you’re going to get to 850 or 900 — with 40 percent being kids,” he said.
