DAY AFTER FIRE FOOTAGE: 4K Drone Lahaina Maui Fire - Longest & Most Detailed Aerial View

As an ex-firefighter, I can tell you that immediately I can see many irregularities. The fire, if completely left to itself, would have consumed everything right up to the sea. Yet I see several very expensive-looking mansions left completely untouched, but surrounded by smaller dwellings burnt to the ground. Some small dwellings are burnt to the ground, yet completely surrounded by larger buildings that are completely untouched by the fire. There is a large area of expensive-looking houses completely untouched, right next to a community of smaller dwellings that are burnt to the ground, as if an imaginary line is drawn between the two areas. This needs a thorough investigation, as something is afoot. God bless the poor families affected by this terrible event. May justice prevail.

The pattern of the fire and what it did and didn’t touch is mind blowing

i just can't believe how clean the roads are after such ferocious winds and fire...nothing looks natural about what has happened..my heart goes out to the people of Maui

Being a Fire Marshal for many years, I see many disturbing things here. First of all, the burn paths (patterns) are very irregular. A fire doesn't go from house and skip the neighbors house and get yours. Tornados do that. Houses that were burned to ashes by very intense heat and flames and houses 20 feet away the tree leaves and grass are not even singed. I hope the people there doesn't stop until they get to the bottom of this fire.

As soon as i heard the song playing, i started balling my eyes out. The realization of my childhood hometown being gone finally hit me. For everyone who don't know, this is the song that the seniors sing when they graduate from high school. God bless everyone who lost their loved one's and their homes. God bless everyone for showing support. God bless Lahaina, my heart will always be with you no matter where i am in life.

What an absolutely horrific response by the "officials". They need to be held accountable for this crime.

The blue umbrellas, the blue roof shed, blue barn and the whole pasture not touched ..amazing

My sincere condolences to all the families who lost everything plus family members 🙏 😢Thankyou to Eric West and family for all you're doing to shine the light on this obvious criminal, catastrophe . Praying for Lahaina and all the victims who suffered so much loss and continue to suffer!😢😢 From Canada 🇨🇦 we are praying that the truth will come out sooner rather than later! May God bring comfort and peace to ALL!

Indigenous people, federally in the US have protected rights. There is nothing to stop the Elders on Maui to be present amongst the Fema or Gov agencies that has cordoned off areas of the Island. The People need to practice their inherent rights to the LAND, The Island is ready and able to protect its children, they just need to remember who they are, and walk together as One.

The oddity that some homes were untouched while others totally destroyed. Very strange.

I'm from a place that has many high wind wild brush fires in summer. First of all, almost ALL are started by people. 2nd, when the fire spreads it CAN miss spots, but the places in LaHaina that burned look absolutely incinerated and THAT is unusual to be right next door to an absolutely untouched spot. And buildings very rarely burn all the way down to the ground like that. How on earth did it spread in that parrticular, peculiar, way, over cement? It makes no sense. 🤷 and I've seen MANY raging fires & grass fires & property damage- but there's something QUITE ODD about the patterns here! It actually looks bombed.

I'm in Michigan and have replayed this Video numerous time's and it's CLEAR AS DAY to me this was NOT what Official's are saying it is. It's IMPOSSIBLE to have Burn Patterns like that. Tornados do that. Not some random Wildfire. I'm a nobody with zero Education on Fires but something is AMISS BIG TIME. I'm now CONVINCED Eric that your thoughts on this Situation are SPOT ON. Continued Prayers for you, your Family and ALL Fellow Islander's. ♥

It is so puzzling to me that some areas are completely untouched or burned while others around it are demolished to smitherines. Almost like someone picked and chose which ones to burn.

Heartbreaking. I am not a firefighter, but common sense tells me a wildfire urged on by hurricane force winds does not stop to skip a house or hotel and decimate the remainder of the neighborhood. Excellent video footage. Beautiful native music looped behind the video was perfect! Entirely heartbreaking.

This is a brilliant video, how can anyone seeing this not question what the hell went on, absolutely terrible

My mom, niece, and I drove past Wahikuli, and what went through me was shock. I didn't expect to, but I was bawling. I was mourning for Maui. Everything and every place that I grew up knowing and going to often is no more. But more than the places, so many people gone. My heart is hurting. Thank you to the person or people who shot this video. I am fully convinced that days of gold are ahead for Maui and her residents.

California here. You know i thought it was strange when we had our houses turned to powder and yet the trees sometimes only feet away remained green. To now see an exact replica of our residential remains is more than just a little suspicious. The fires in Chile didn’t look like that. Also you are surrounded by water so you would think the FD would have some barges with heavy pumps to spray endless water

It’s kind of amazing how that hotel to the right of the harbor didn’t seem to be damaged at all

Thank you, Eric. I’ve been watching your informative videos and know Heavenly Father is happy you’re helping these gentle Hawaiian people. My heart aches for all they’re going through.

I am firefighter on the east coast in a very dense urban city.. we run a lot of fire and nothing about this seems normal.. my heart hurts. All these systems in place to keep us down or dead.
