Police say seven individuals, ranging in age from 18 to 74, sustained injuries, with three in critical condition and one transported via medevac following the explosion in Kāʻanapali. Preliminary investigations suggest that the explosion may have involved liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which supplies common area BBQs. Witness statements indicate a possible grill malfunction before the incident.
