This is the crux of the new lawsuit Maui county brought against Hawaiian electric this week. Hawaiian electric is saying that they shut off the power prior to the second fire and the county is saying if Hawaiian electric knows about a second ignition source then now is the time to prove it. Otherwise the narrative is the downed power lines started both the morning fire and the afternoon fire in Lahaina.
No, fren. Electric by several reports was shut off between 2 and 6 hours before the fire.
