Our coverage of the Maui wildfires continues with a Scripps News special report. We take a closer look at the devastation and the plans to rebuild.

Scripps News' Scott Withers is on the ground in Hawaii with a closer look at the catastrophic fires that incinerated the historic island community of Lahaina, Maui in what will likely become the deadliest wildfire in U.S. history.

The wind-driven fires have killed more than 100 people, pitched those displaced into a struggle for housing and shelter, and led to questions and criticism about why the state's early-warning sirens weren't used to alert residents.
