It is just the renaming of satellites for catalogue purposes. Each of these NORAD names is correlated with another name. See below for what I compiled on the Maui fires:
MAUI FIRES WERE STARTED BY CHINESE SATELLITES THAT PASSED DIRECTLY OVER THE ISLANDS AT THE TIME THE THREE FIRES WERE STARTED
08/07/23 – 10:47PM OLINDA FIRE - 1ST FIRE STARTED, PRC satellite NORAD 53299 (OBJECT A)
08/08/23 – 6:37AM LAHAINA FIRE - 2ND FIRE STARTED, PRC satellite NORAD 55836 (TIANHUI 6A)
08/08/23 – 11:30AM KULA FIRE – 3RD FIRE STARTED, PRC satellite NORAD 53299 (OBJECT A)
For some reason I originally thought they were named that way as if they were built for NORAD, but they were just detected by NORAD and given an indicator.
It all makes sense now to the point I wonder how I didn't grasp it initially.

Duh. Thanks for that.

No problem fren. I thought that, too. That's why I went and did a little sleuthing.
Note:
The names: 'Tianhui 6A' and also 'Object A' are the original descriptions.
I wonder why the one is called 'Object A'. Do they not know what it is? Or, who made it, I wonder?
