Did downed power lines start the Maui fire? New videos shows flames at base of pylons as locals say unkempt brush acted like tinderbox and couple sues electricity company for not turning off supply at first sign of danger

Officials are yet to confirm the precise origins of the fire, or say why the siren system that should have given locals enough time to evacuate failed So far 96 deaths have been confirmed, but officials have only been able to confirm the identities of two of the victims because the others' bodies were so badly burned. One couple has already filed a lawsuit against Hawaiian Electric Industries - which serves 95 percent of Hawaii 's 1.4 million residents - and its companies HECO, MECO and HELCO.
