Lahaina wildfire survivors Kekoa and Connor Mowat share their family story. Of the 84 'ohana members who call Lahaina home, 56 were left houseless after five of their properties and three rentals were destroyed in the Aug. 8 wildfire. The destruction spans 5.5 square miles, stretching from Wahikuli to Puamana. Many of their family members are being housed at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort, where Kekoa Mowat is the head of Security. He expressed gratitude for friends and the community, but said it's hard knowing that "all of Lahaina needs help."
