Old Lahaina Town Utterly Destroyed - Recovery & Relief Efforts

[HiloJulie]

"But the fuels — all that grass — is the one thing that we can directly change to reduce fire risk."

By bulldozing out the Guinea grass and planting pineapple?    I suppose they're talking about controlled burns. 

The Maui tourists sure enjoyed it in the past when smoke from the burning sugar cane fields reached their rooms.

So what are the other options?

The status quo of doing what has been done sure doesn’t work. 

So what else can be economically done to prevent any wildfires that doesn’t allow for a repeat of what just happened In a few decades while at the same time not offending any Maui tourists?

Paved parking lots?
