Wildfires have ravaged Hawaii
A doctor has said Maui, Hawaii, looked like a "war zone" similar to scenes in the movie "I Am Legend" following catastrophic wildfires this week.
He tirelessly worked for 14 hours to treat evacuees suffering from burns, asthma and other health issues exacerbated by the fires, as he transported them to safety. When he drove to Lahaina, he told NBC News he "had just walked into a war zone, the hot aftermath with steam and fire still cooking on the side."
“I heard that story and I was just so sad,” Danesh said. “There she was, keeping her spirits, and her pets had all died, and she had nothing, and I’m taking care of her wounds.” Medical personnel displayed remarkable dedication in the face of personal losses at the Maui Memorial Medical Center as they treated numerous fire-related injuries despite the challenges.One resident, Ellie Erickson, has created a vital spreadsheet to help people track down their loved ones, with close to 3,400 names on the list.
