At least 67 people have died as of Friday evening as a result of the active Hawaii wildfires. Maui County Police Chief John Pelletier has estimated that approximately 1,000 people are still missing. FEMA has sent search-and-rescue teams to Hawaii to look for survivors, and Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said thousands of people have been displaced and need housing.
The tragic devastation of the ongoing event has affected many people and hit close to home for some who are currently stateside, including Michigan wide receiver Roman Wilson, who spoke publicly about its horrific effects on friends and neighbors.
