美国夏威夷州部分地区今天受强风助长的野火侵袭，毛伊岛（Maui）上历史悠久的拉海纳镇（Lahaina Town）建筑遭到焚烧，迫使民众疏散，一些人跳进相对安全的海里躲避火势。
美联社及美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报导，美国海岸防卫队（U.S. Coast Guard）在社群媒体X发文表示，在夏威夷毛伊郡（Maui County），有12名跳海躲避危险野火的民众已经获救。
The scene in Lahaina, Maui this morning is absolutely devastating.

The entire town is being destroyed by an intense wildfire, forcing residents to sheek shelter in the ocean.
Make no mistake, climate change is making scenes like this more frequent. pic.twitter.com/dttFnAwEeJ
美国海岸防卫队及毛伊郡官员指出，这12人因为烟雾及火势跳进海里，他们在拉海纳镇附近获救，海岸防卫队已将民众送至安全地区。
拉海纳镇居民狄克尔（Alan Dickar）为躲避火势而疏散，看到自己的一栋房子被火焚烧，还有其他房子被烟雾吞没。狄克尔说，他从未看过如此景像。
