Hawaii fires: fresh blaze prompts renewed evacuations as Maui death toll rises

At least 80 people killed in deadliest disaster in the state's history, as questions asked about the local warning system

The death toll from the Maui wildfires in Hawaii has risen to 80 as search teams comb through the smouldering ruins of Lahaina and a new fire triggered the evacuation of another community on Friday night.

The Maui police department said the new fire was burning in Kaanapali in West Maui, to the north-east of the area that burned earlier this week.
