Wildfires devastated the Hawaiian island of Maui this week, killing at least 80 people and burning more than 2,100 acres of land as of Saturday.

The County of Maui on Saturday confirmed the number of fatalities in a statement that said firefighters are continuing to extinguish flare-ups and contain fires around the island. The wildfires have left destruction in their wake, including in the historic town of Lahaina.

The Pacific Disaster Center said that as of Friday, the Lahaina Fire resulted in an estimated 2,719 structures exposed, 2,207 structures damaged or destroyed, and 2,170 acres burned. The wildfires began on August 8.

In Lahaina, the wildfires destroyed buildings, cars, and local greenery, forcing residents to flee the area.
