A respected businessman was in Maui during the fires and mobilized a team, creating a convoy of supplies and resources as federal agencies worked to get to the island. He told KSAT what myths he's busting about recovery efforts.
– Maui’s people have said the word “horrific” doesn’t begin to describe what the ferocious wildfires have left behind.
“There were so many fires at once. We live on the south side of Maui. We saw this glow over the mountain, over the rooftops, so we took off for the brewery right away,” he said. Marrero said he’s also using social media to dismantle misinformation, including rumors that supplies aren’t getting through.
The biggest piece of misinformation he’s heard about tourism is that Maui is closed, and no one can fly in.
